*shudder* dammit, why did I click on this topic? No sleep for me tonight.

Very odd looking critters I'll admit. Though the images I lost sleep over personally were those pictures circulating a while back depicting a spider hiding behind a wall clock, where you could actually see all of it's clawtips sticking out from behind it. I think they were in New Zeland or some sorts.

Great models for large vermin though!

Creepy. I didn't see any of those when I was "over there" -- though I saw plenty of scorpions. What wierded me out were the monitor lizards. I was cruising across the desert in my Bradley one day when this lizard about 3' long jumped up and actually paced the vehicle for about 200 yards -- we were doing about 20 mph! It then vanished back into the sand. Needless to say, with all the creepy-crawlies, we were happy that we had a vehicle that could carry cots, so we could sleep off the ground.

You know what the scarriest thing is? Those buggers are partially bullet proof! A couple of marines where on patrol, smoking pot and stuff, suddenly there's a big spider thingy, they freak and start shooting it. And you know what, not a scratch on the bloody thing! Next morning when the sarge asked what happend to them and why they had big puffy red eyes, they told the sarge that the where attacked by monster spider/scorions that was this biiiiig... pfttt!!! *has a laughing fit*

Looks cool but it doesn't scare me. Even if it did come after me, I'd give it a good squishing. I've got more to fear from mosquitos.

What are cool are those horse shoe crabs, and coconut crabs.

Horseshoe crabs, I think, are actually remnants of the family of the eurypterids (sea scorpions) which mostly died off years and years ago. As to the coconut crab, he's cool as well, looks a bit more like a lobster or shrimp to me (looking at the head).
