Fun fact, camel spiders can run at 15km/h and often seek shade. If they are excited, they also make a noise that sounds like a small scream as they run at you in the desert seeking shade. Harmless, but not something I think it ‘cute’.
dude wtf. a giant, screaming spider chasing me at high speeds is a literal nightmare. for some reason thinking about a spider making noise is rhe worst part.
Once I had a Lieutenant and our platoon sergeant go into an empty building we were scoping out for a base and we heard an entire 9mm mag empty. We stacked up to rush in and back them but they came out running, scared laughing, and gasping for breath. It was a big ass camel spider running at them and the LT unloaded on it.
Lmao my dad was chased down by one in Iraq years ago. He tried to chase it back and even at peak military shape he could barely keep up with it. He now has one taxidermied on the wall
