Camel Spiders in Qatar?
Just recently i was visiting Dukhan and once of my friends said he saw a camel spider crawling around. After searching around for a while outside a Mosque, it eventually re-appeared and *SPLAT* one of the guys squashed it with his sandal.
Just thought you may want to see what it looks like in case you find one in your bed one day :-)

harmless my arse.... In ...harmless my arse....
In Oman US Marines would catch them and scorpions and fight them, of course money was involved....
Camel Spider would come out on top 65% of the time I would estimate...
There was a story that went around regarding a military member sleeping in his tent and having the tip of his nose bit off too... The story said that they had some numbing agent in their venom or something.... And the guy didn't realize it til he went for a shave...
Yah, it is a baby for sure... not enough hair on the body.

EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW ...If i knew there would be this hideous picture, I wouldn't have opened the thread LOL
AbuAmerican said
Yea the whole chew yer face ...Yea the whole chew yer face off thing is fake, urban legend and all that. I will check it again but I am sure the story is made up, they aren't known to attack people and are pretty scared of them.
Only time I heard them coming up to people is in broad daylight trying to get in a soldiers shade making it look like it was chasing him.

Bull ...Camel spiders do sometimes run towards you. To get in your shade.
When you take your shoes off (particularly in the desert) put your socks over them to keep nasties (mainly scorpions) out.
AbuAmerican is right about the other stores......urban myth.

I also heard from someone ...I also heard from someone well informed that the US soldiers would put them in boxes and make them fight with rats or mice. Usually the camel spider would win apparently. Maybe myth.. i don't know!!
If thats a baby i dont wanna see her momma!!

they are revolting ...here's a short clip of one on Youtube ...
and they have them here just as big. They are not actually spiders but some kind of distant relation to scorpions which look like spiders, apparently.

holy moly (youtube vid).. ...holy moly (youtube vid).. and who said not to kill that baby spider we found? i mean what if it grew to full size and decided to eat your toe like the poor lizard!!!
but i agree in general we should'nt kill spiders but the sanctity of human life has priority (well just a little more than deadly spiders anyway)
dweller said
If you ...want to know more about them google "camel spiders".
There are some very informed descriptions that also tell you what is myth and what is not.
