Huh, a Camel Spider? Aside from that being one of the creepiest things on the planet what would inspire you to ASCII art that sucker? Doc Clu (Who has been to Kuwait.)

A big one might be 2-3 (incluing legs). > Aside from that being one of the creepiest things on > the planet what would inspire you to ASCII art that sucker? One was runnning around. Like Walt's mice. Don't seem to much creepier than any other spider to me (but they are smaller?), but at a glance they can look like a real scorpin and cause a bit of concern. It got munged before it got back to me.

But now thanks to this I am learning that Conus (U.S) has these as well in the desert regions. Oh well. They are fast, they are creeeeepppyyy looking, but they are also great eaters of actual scorpions and other insects, and not actually poisonous. Just reallly really creepy.
