Camel spiders
So I would like to introduce everyone to a disgusting little creature called a camel spider. They are acutally scorpions, but look just like spiders. They are generally just a little bigger than tarantulas, but can get as big as saucers. They run very fast, and can also jump. The worst part is, they try to hide in shadows, so sometimes they will hide in YOUR shadow…making it seem like they are chasing you if you try to get away. My question is…why is it always the cool and/or cute animals that are extinct? Why can camel spiders not be extinct? I ask only because we had one in the hospital tent. This is not good because we actually have to do something about it when this happens. Like catch it. One of the down sides of the desert, just so you guys can be prepared if you do come out to visit. 🙂 Other than nasty little creatures, all is well here…I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it to the Rock 🙁 Hope everyone is good, miss you all!

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing Caitlin. Wasn’t Dawn always the worst one when it came to dealing with spiders?
It’s extremely freaky that they sort of chase you in your shadow.
We have little baby scorpions here in Italy too. i don’t know if they’re the same thing, because these really look like scorpions. I feel obligated to catch/kill those little babies when I see them too. Not really a fun job.

Ewwww, I seem to remember a terrifying trip in the car with a certain driver who was VERY unhappy at the gross white car spider that appeared on her windshield. To think it’s the same girl who is now capturing creepy threatening stalking spiders. I’m so proud of you! Glad to hear your back in the world of communication, miss you!!
