Help w/bug ID?

[Syn]

Someone had mentioned Camel Spider.

I didn't think they were common around here? They seem kind of cute... but that's probably because it's smashed.

Yeah, looks like a camel spider.

Looks like a camel spider to me too. There's a lot of neat info on camelspider.net, including some urban legends and myths that go 'round the Interwebs.

Blegh why would you ever want that running aorund in your cages? eeek!

That looks terrifying Syn lol

 

[Syn]

Brian I may take you up on that offer -- I don't see them too often, though.

 

[ColorCham427]

Thanks! I believe they love the shade, hence why they'll get close to people (for their shadow)...

 

[Syn]

I'll keep that in mind. My sister's friend smooshed it last night, so I'll take a look around after dark...

They are also having bug problems, as are we over at my house, but not as bad.

I just went on there and read these things move up to 30mph and they scream when they run! That alone is creepy but as I read on they said the spider gnaws on you while your sleeping!!!

Sounds like an old episode of the Twilight Zone
