CAMEL SPIDERS
Camel spiders, also known as wind scorpions, are actually not spiders or scorpions. They are a different type of Arthropod called Solipugids. They are known to be the fastest of the Arthropods. They usually hunt at night and hide during the day, using their large pincers as a shovel to dig for shelter. Camel spiders can be up to six inches long. There are about 900 species of camel spiders. The unusual thing about a camel spider is that they scream while running after attacking humans. Their bites are not poisonous but hurt a lot!
They can run at about 10 Miles per hour. They are mostly found in the deserts of the Middle East. They can also jump several feet in the air. The wind scorpion is also called a camel spider because it feasts on the stomach of Camels. U.S soldiers were said to have been attacked by camel spiders at night but did not notice and found chucks of their flesh missing in the morning.
