Looking at the pic, it's pretty apparent that it is actually of TWO camel spiders. The second one appears to be hanging off of the first one. Mating perhaps?(Warning: Another "When I was over there..." story.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />We were co-located with some MPs who kept a Camel Spider in a cookie tin as a sort of pseudo-pet/mascot. Some other enterprising Marines stumbled across a scorpion about the size of a man's hand that looked like a black mutant lobster (it was very well armored). Of course the only thing to do was to stick them in the tin together. The camel spider kept backing away while the scorpion doggedly stalked it. Finally the scorpion grabbed the camel spider w/both pinchers & thumped it in the middle of the head with it's stinger. The camel spider was out of the fight...So the camel spiders don't win all of the battles.......Of course there was the time in a Division Staff meeting that a boot 2nd Lt noticed something under his chair, reached down & came up with a Horned Viper in his grasp. He couldn't figure out why everyone was falling over themselves trying to get the heck away from him (He didn't realize it was poisonous)!</blockquote>
