I was over in the desert in Saudi Arabia for 6 mths and saw those things all over the place. The myth is that they climb onto your face and inject you with a toxin that numbs a soft part of your face such as your ear or nose and then proceed to chew said hahahaha part off while you sleep.
Cool story to tell the newbies that rotate in, but actually a load of BS.
They are mean as fuck though and love to chase you around. I had a couple chase me up a ladder one day. Got to the top and started dropping shit on them. Motherfuckers are touch. We caught one once and dipped it in Liquid Oxygen. Crawled around for a few seconds and broke open and took a while to die. We had an aquarium that we would drop a camel spider and scorpion into pretty much every day (never took us long to find them). Camel spider won most of the time.
If you look closely at the pic it is actually 2 camel spiders hanging together and the pic is a closeup (look at the hand to the right). Each of those is probably only 3 inches long, about the same size as a tarantula.
