As if Army Infantry isn’t a tough enough existence, take a look at the wildlife!
These are Camel Spiders... Enough said!

Yeah they only come out at night, and when and if they bite you you'd never know it. They say their saliva has a drug in it that numbs the skin, so he can eat all he wants before you find out. Bad thing is you have a nice big hole in your body after he is done.
But hey, the Infantry isn't for everyone.

That's it, I'm not joining!.......Do those things taste like crab?

[Cardinal]

Are those things for real? They look like real mean little critters - not to mention that even the camel spider looks a tad dangerous ... .

I am very surprised, I have never heard of these.

I have a buddy that's due back next week from Iraq there and he has sent in these Camel spider pics too.
I told him he better not bring one back with him....Yuck..
After a good night sleep you wake up and see that thing on your leg eating at ya....
I also have heard this eating your flesh is folklore too.
That pic has two of them yucky things.
