I dont really collect bugs, but I want to keep this thing.  Just have to get him in acrylic so I can clear customs

In Oman we put a black scorpion in with a camel spider... camel spider won... amazing.

I haven't found any scorpions on Balad.  Maybe we will find another camel spider or at least something that can fight back I have a video of the lizard, but its 87mg working on compressing.

i m not much of a spider phobe, but that sumbich would get blasted on sight. anything with more hair on its legs then me should be hunted.

I friggin hate spiders, makes me nauseous just looking at your pictures.  Man that thing is nasty looking.

Ugly.  We had these (huntsman spider) in our house in Australia.  They came out at night and could be found stuck to the side of the walls.  Quite a shock when you are going to the bathroom at 2AM.  Almost makes you    They are harmless though, just big.

Where's Gutpile, he will identify that nasty thing. I would call it squished.

Looks like one of those Camel Spiders in Iraq

Guess I was late, someone already ID'd it. LOL.

There would be .45 cal. holes all over my bed....and I'd be deaf from my own girlish screams.

I keep clicking on this, and every time my skin crawls that one with the lizard is pretty sweet.

The ones here at my work in Moses Lake are at biggest 1.75 or 2 inches.  Our plant is the only place I have seen them.  Are they native to Washington or did these hitch a ride from somewhere on our raw materials?   Just something I have always wondered.  We have done the same thing, put them in a glass enclosure and have gladiator battles.  They make short work of black widows, ants and other insects, but have no chance against a Mantis.

ok so thats probably the sort of thing that would get peta up your ass in a hurry but bug battles are frickin awesome.... Mantis are pretty tough predators ....bugs are way cool so long as it isnt a flea tick mosquito or mite
