oh yeah i forgot about those little guys.

 

Those things have got to be one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. If I had one of those in my sleeping bag I think I would have a heart attack. No joke!!

Having both been deployed to Saudi Arabia (in the summer) ourselves, we can confirm that those are actual camel spiders; as others have noted, the perspective of the photo makes them appear larger than they actually are.

 

5 inches or not...any spider bigger than, say, a toenail is big enough to weird me out :shudder:

 

That's awesome... I wanna see a spider eat a small rodent.
