Cara (GorramnDoll) was terrified of spiders for years. Now she owns a tarantula. I do not get it. They still freak me out. I've gotten better at killing some of the smaller ones, though. Bigger ones and I freeze up a bit.

At least I was able to learn how to sew while getting my Theatre degree!

I couldn't find a pattern that matched David Tennant's jacket close enough, so I had to do some major alterations on the closest thing I could find (a MATRIX jacket pattern).

Ditto, and you should have seen the Camel Spiders in Iraq. If you've heard any of the horror stories from guys that have been over, let me assure you: they're all true. Yes, they can get up to 24 inches across. Yes, they chase you. Yes, they can jump. They are just the nastiest things on God's green Earth. It's a miracle I didn't lose my mind. The only thing that saved me was that I was more worried about getting shot or blown up than I was about spiders.

Also, I'm so bummed that we can't make it to D*C; all my favorite cam companions will be there! So here's us, all bummed out:

24 inches? 2 feet? I haven't been to Iraq and don't plan on going there, but that sounds like an urban legend.

So where do we go to check out urban legends? Snopes!!! Yay Snopes!

http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp

First, they are not technically spiders, though they're arachnids. Their legs can get to be 5-6 inches long, and their bodies look very long, which would give them a total span of probably two feet. They are very scary looking. They're not venomous, so there's a relief there. Doesn't say how far they can jump, just that the claim they can jump several feet is exaggerated and/or false.
So. There you go. I'm going to pull all the covers off my bed and sit in the middle of it watching the floor and clutching my teddy bear now.

Actually it says the leg span (which is the total span) is 5-6 inches. But thanks for the linking to that site, never knew such a thing existed (but I guess I should have known), might be useful in the future.

That it does. My bad. I was reading it kinda fast because, you know, creepy pictures. I wonder how long their bodies get, though? Because they looked very long.

You're quite welcome! It's one of the greatest sites EVAR! It keeps me quite entertained, and I learn a lot reading through it.

And all arachnids creep me out, personally. They don't have to be spiders. That's why it's called 'arachnophobia'
I don't know if there's a special word for just being afraid of spiders and not other arachnids...

OK, I try not to post without pics but...
Fine, so the legends aren't true. So what?! That's still the biggest gorram bug I've ever seen! What are the rules of engagement when you see these crawlies comin' for you? Are you allowed to shoot 'em? Do you have to wait to be bitten first? How big a splat mark do they make on the windscreen of a Hummer? Taste like chicken?
Let's say it weighs 1 pound, and like an ant can lift 100x it's body weight... a child could be carried off by one of these! A three bug team could carry off any but the biggest trooper in full armor!
Even if they only weigh .1 pound, it's still only 30 of 'em...
I'd like to suggest sending cans of bug killer in any care packages that get sent over!
Charge the flamethrowers! No wait, then there'd be jumping burning bugs.

Arachnophobic? Me? Noooooooo.

Wonder how they compare to birdeater tarantulas, since it sounds like they go after similar prey. Although birdeaters do have venom, which makes them scarier to me, I don't know just how big they are.
Emma? Can you tell us? No pictures please!!!

I played with a Bird Eating Spider at my local pet store once. Man that thing was cool! The owner made me put on a chainmail glove and stick my hand in the cage because I wanted it. Dang thing jumped on my hand faster than St!
Needless to say he wouldn't sell it to a 15 year old!


The camel spiders are pretty cool. We saw one fighting with a scorpion once while I was over there. Man they are quick!

Google image search it. There an image of some soliders holding a dead one up. Positively nasty. As far as the jumping thing, they can jump high enough to climb up from wherever they land up a man's back. Once saw the biggest, burliest Marine running flat out hollering fit to beat the band. Course, everybody grabs their rifles, cause we think we're going to get attacked (again). Nope; a camel spider was chasing him. Thing jump at least high enough to climb from wherever it landed up onto his back. The urban legend bit is that they'll eat parts of you while you're asleep. Icky (but untrue) (but presented as true to newly arriving troopers).

I don't know, dude, I saw quite a few that were bigger than 6 nches. Hell, one of my chiefs (who liked the things, for some damned reason) found a gift store that sold dead ones in custom frames, and it was about 8 inches. All due respect to snopes, I saw bigger than that when I was there. Like I said, try out that Google Image search; I'm sure that photo's still around.

I think the image you're referring to is what's up on snopes. Write to them if you think they're inaccurate. If you can get ahold of that chief of yours and ask him to measure the one he has (WHY?) you could send them those stats. I'm sure they don't want to have inaccurate info up there.

Just to creep folks out, and in keeping with the icky bug theme, I came across one of these in a house I lived in about 12 years ago in Sparks, Nevada. The craziest bug I've ever seen, reminded me of the "cootie bug" toy they used to sell when I was a kid.

My father-in-law kicked it out the front door and it hit the side of his pickup. It made a VERY disticntive thunk upon impact, but then just got up and ambled away.

Thank goodness you had that for a distraction. Kelkhil? A little help here?

I am ignoring this statement (and picture) because it is the obvious hallucination of a genetically altered spider bite victim.

Cheating. No photos of me, just some random icons I won't be posting in the blue sun room since they're non-firefly (although some are Jossverse ones)

I'll be adding these to my site *any* *day* *now*, but I'll give you guys a peek first

Okay, I think I'm gonna have to agree with most here in saying that I never want to see a Camel Spider ever again. That was....well, like I said-ever again.

All I've got left in the way of pictures are ones of my brother party, so here we are...

Me and my friend Janosch. Yes, that's his real name (pronounced, 'Yarn-osh').

There's a dude in Ghostbusters 2 named Janosch?

*Checks*

Holy crap, so there is! Dr. Janosz Poha, played by that weasely dude from 24, Peter MacNicol!

Hey, he's David Krumholtz's (Mr. Universe) buddy in Numb3rs too. I love this guy!


And Janosch doesn't do so well on homemade Sambucca...

Sorry about the lack of goodness with the pics, but they're all I have.
