I love spiders, if I find one inside I gently take it outside. If its raining or cold it gets put in the utility room or the shed so it doesn't die.
But fuck me I don't like the look of camel spiders. Samm works for a company that supplies air con and this requires them to send generators around the world. When they come from desert places, like Iraq etc they have to be searched to make sure none of these monsters are hiding inside, once or twice they have been chased by them...and I mean chased.
They are nocturnal and they crave shadow in the day, so if you happen to uncover one it will run (at 10mph) at the closest shadow, which is more often than not YOUR shadow, so the more you run the more they chase. They can also jump up to 3 foot.
A guy at poker last night knew a bloke who was in the army, he was posted in the far east and one night one of his mates woke up screaming, apparently a camel spider had climbed on his face, injected its anaestheic and had eaten away a good chunk of his features.
For those who are interested do a you tube search for them. A small clip -
