Description

This is... No, not a spider. Closer related to scorpions, maybe. It's an animal of the order Solpugidae, and it looked so cool that I wanted to make one.

Also known as the Camel-spider, these critters look scary, but the stories that go around about them are even more scary. They are one of the fastest around, speeds measured up to 10 miles an hour when they dash for shade, scary as hell because you are probably the only one in the dessert giving a shade, try to keep your nerves when you see these monsters sprinting towards you.

Also known as the wind-scorpion for reasons listed above. My 4 year old daughter caught one under a butter container while playing in the sand, then happily called me to see the bug she got! Ugh...
