Appears as a giant Spider (notice the leg structure and the "hair" on the legs). I might be wrong, though.

It's a spider, very venomous.

I read about these in an article about the soldier's accomodation in Iraq.

It can not possibly be the spider as it beats the largest known spiders size:

The Goliath. Eats birds... looked like a giant ant to me at first but the pic is really bad. Altho on second look the camera angle makes it loko larger than it actually is. Both the sleeve is closer to the camera and the solders legs are further away - make it look much larger than it is.

It's a spider. I got a mail about it a while back, it was a basically STFU and stop bitching, at least you don't get shot at and have to deal with THESE things.. from the management. If you actually look close, you'll see that it's two of them together and the angle does make them appear much larger than they actually are.

It's a wind scorpion, which is a type of spider.

Actually, I'm sorry; spoke too soon.

It's two wind scorpions, probably mating or something; that's likely why it looks so big.

We used to sell them at a store I used to work at.

There're two.

That's why there are more than 8 legs.

It's a desert spider, two of them. They are just a little smaller than the size of a man's hand. The photo is taken so close they look larger than they are.

more disturbing then its size is its speed and gaull... the thing can run at like 30 miles an hour, can jump more far enough to ruin your day, and has no problem with attacking things many times its size... it's also called a 'camel spider'... because it will attack camels... :( ... I hate spiders.
