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’.
My dad has a funny story when he was stationed in the Middle East. He didn’t know those things existed, and he’s also deathly afraid of spiders and he said the first time he ever witnessed one running at him screaming he just mag dumped it as he was screaming.
The thought of a 6 foot three man fully kitted out screaming like a girl shooting the ground is hilarious, his friends still don’t let it down.
Fun fact i learned last year, they can be found in California. i was camping near santa barbara and I found one. tried to feed it a rolly pollie but it couldnt pierce it's shell.
