Which ones? lol.

The Camel Spiders are not as aggresive as people imagine them to be, though they run up to 10Mph which is freaky. Though, did you see teh Spider Bite on that Soldiers Elbow? Eeeew.

I knew a US Marine from a Music site I am a member of and while he was over there, he said he had not once seen a Camel Spider

I have seen plenty of Camel Spiders when I was serving in Egypt I was on a filtration plant and the engine rooms were built underground and we had to go down there to start the engines which when running put the fear of god into the spiders it did not do much for me seeing them charging all around the room
