Camel spiders belong to the class Arachnida, but while all spiders are arachnids, not all arachnids are spiders. Another common name is wind scorpion, but it’s not a scorpion, either. The camel spider is of the order Solifugae, which is Latin for “those who flee from the sun. They aren’t even venomous. Their jaws are their primary weapon. After seizing a victim, they turn it to pulp by chopping or sawing the bodies with their jaws.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.livescience.com/40025-camel-spiders-facts.html">http://www.livescience.com/40025-camel-spiders-facts.html</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">

They're actually rather playful. I even had a black widow as a kid. Not as pettable, but as long as you left her alone, she was perfectly content hanging out in her web and eating whatever you threw into the jar with her.<br /><br />These guys? No frickin' way.
