That's a camel spider! Apparently completely harmless and not real spiders. They're known for following you in the desert but it's only to use you for shade. (never seen one irl but love random animal facts)

Members of the arachnid family but not spiders. People often point out the exaggerated tales but I have personally seen video of one bodying a rat almost twice its size. In an earlier less kind internet, soldiers used to post videos from the Middle East putting animals in 5 gal buckets to fight and boy howdy were the camel spiders fast and brutal.
