Deadly Afghan Spider Hitches Ride Home With U.K. Soldier, Kills Family Dog

Lorraine Griffiths and her three children, aged 18, 16 and four, have been forced to leave their family home in Colchester, Essex.
They are now refusing to return to the property until the killer spider is captured by the RSPCA.
Unlike most spiders that kill and dissolve their prey, Camel Spiders eat meat :o

Thanks Dave....I have a wicked case of the heebie-jeebies now.

As far as I am concerned ALL spiders are 8 legged spawns of Satan.

Sorry Darth Gaos,
It may be OK cause this one has 10 legs, so it may not be a true spider. More of a crab (or alien)?
It jumps on camels where it - well you know the rest.

You know I don't have a great fear of many things, but spiders I do fear, a lot and that thing in fact is terrifying. Almost as bad as when I woke up to one on the wall next to me in Guatemala (where they're poisons).

That is just freaky.

I love every single creature on this planet. This tarantula is freaking awesome. Too bad it attacked.

I guess that's collateral damage of a war.

Ahh...scorpions....Spiders with claws AND a tail with a stinger on it.

Man that thing looks ugly. I hate scorpians and I ain't to keen on spiders, this looks like a cross between the two.
