Is a bite from a camel spider considered to be deadly?
http://www.camelspiders.net/ is the best resource I’ve seen about the Camel Spiders. Some common Camel Spider Myths: 1. Camel spiders can move at speeds over 30 MPH, screaming while they run. 2. Camel spiders can be as large as a frisbee. 3. Camel spiders venom is an anesthetic that numbs their prey. 4. Camel spiders can jump three feet high. 5. Camel spiders get there name because they eat the stomachs of camels. THE FACTS Most of these claims are false or greatly exaggerated. 1. Camel spiders top speed – 10 mph. 2. Size: Up to 6 inches 3. They have no venom. 4. They don’t jump. 5. Called camel spiders because they live in the desert. They actually aren’t spiders at all, they’re solpugids.. Along with spiders, they are members of the class Arachnida.
