Baby Camel Spider vs Giant Cricket

This is a baby camel spider caught hanging out in a porto-john in Baghdad. He had quite an appetite, as you will see. Here's a little "taste" for you....

this camel spider wouldn't last against the crickets humongous cousin which is the Weta giant cricket!

[Vivimord]

Due to it's segmented abdomen and contrary to public belief, this is not a true spider. Look it up for yourselves. Ugly bastard all the same though.

no contest

[MsHojat]

@MaxDaMafia actually it is an arachnid. It has 8 legs, what you might consider to be the 5th pair of legs are actually sensory organs that work almost like antenna. However, major differences in this animal make it not a spider, although it is still an arachnid (like scorptions).

@MaxDaMafia but it has 10 legs not 8 so it couldnt be considered an arachnid

[MaxDaMafia]

@Vivimord no but with the 8 legs it is an arachnid so therefore, its a species of spider.

althought with that beast, it can be whatever it wants

camel spiders aren't poisonous and they're not even spiders. their bite just hurts like fuck and they're arachnids like daddy longlegs.

@Vivimord and they aren't poisonous... the damage done by bites is largely due to the infections caused by the bite.

@Mart2007 oh, no it isn't! They can be pretty big! I have one, full grown he's 8inches with legspan!

[vengfullzealot]

dude ive been up for 4 days now and i can not stop laphing and dam that fucker jump and plow ate that bitch hahahaha i caint stop

[funkmasterjee]

the cricket had no chance waht so ever

....so what's the point?

[MrDeadspace45]

of course the spider wins its pointless to put them together because the spider has huge fangs and the only thing the cricket has is that anoying sound it makes with its legs
