This picture is a perfect example of why you don't want to go to the
desert. These are two of the biggest I've ever seen. With a vertical leap that
would make a pro basketball player weep with envy (they have to be able to
jump up on to a camel's stomach, after all), these bastards latch on and
inject you with a local anesthesia so you can't feel it feeding on you. They
eat flesh, not just suck out your juices like a normal spider. More...

I sent in a comment already but it may not have gone through. THESE ARE NOT SPIDERS AND THEY ARE TAKEN AT A BAD ANGLE SO APPEAR TO BE GIANT! These are solpugids a relative of spiders just as a crab is a relative of a spider. They do not grow a foot long as pictured here and do not eat people. If cornered they will bite with blade like chelicerae, but it is difficult to catch one as they run fast, but not as fast as I can. I have never had one run at me or try to attack, always the opposite. I am going to the Chichuahuan desert later this week and hope to see and collect a few. Thank you very much.
