Creepy Crawly

Have had three of these little blighters in our home over the last couple of days. Two in the kitchen sink and one on the back of the sofa! eek!

Apparently can give you a nasty bite but aren't venemous.

They move very fast!!

Not as fast as I would move if I saw one!

Yep weve seen a couple of those recently. Any idea what they are?

Great pic too!

They're called sunspiders or wind scorpions (because they 'run like the wind' apparently).

Yes we have had 2 indoors also caught one but the other is hiding eeek !!

my spanish neighbour when i showed him the pic said they always go around in groups of 10 to 12 so you lot better go and find all the other LOL

can you keep those over in Cullar please

hey good to see the festival goers back, where we watching the quarterfinals Metaldunc? did you have a good time?

sorry Cullarfamily but it is a camelspider.
Go too Google and take a look at it.

must be El Porton Mikey!

Hi, Flying Dutchman - these creepy crawlies are actually called Solifugae (to give them their proper name) but are also known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders or solifuges. So we are both right.
Take a look at Wikipedia.

cant be camel spiders as they are well dangerous and dont think they look like those things

Hi mikey

Go too google type in CAMELSPIDER, then go too pictures and you will see.
They are dangerous and bite. !!!!!!!

Now if one receives a bite, is it a case of putting your head between your knees and kissing your arse good-buy, ...........????

We have had a couple of them inside this year too - (and if what Mikey says is right.......I am now going to be searching for those other 10!!!)

Rather you than me Pebbles...Good Luck...
