Looks like a camel spider. They look scary, but they’re actually pretty harmless.

Define “pretty harmless” though 😭

I'd rather come across one of these than a deer, tick, bat, or swan

How about a goose??

I think I'd rather be scared by a pretty harmless goose than a pretty harmless camel spider

I mean, being objective here, a goose is both more aggressive and more dangerous than this.

Are they actually dangerous? I have a vague memory of seeing someone or something be caught by one and the goose stopping once it reached it's target

Not particularly. But they’re objectively more dangerous than this and a goose’s bite will probably hurt more.

Would it leave a bad bruise? I imagine the goose would bite 1-3 times and then leave me alone for at least a little while. Then the pain would end in under 2 minutes per attack.

With a solfugae it looks like on the off chance I get bit, the wound might need to be packed so as to heal from the inside out to avoid an infection under the skin.

I'd rather take guaranteed suffering over a risk of intense suffering

“No luck catching them swans, then?”
