I am so scred of spiders. I got some huge bites this summer (I couldn't work for a couple days). I just have a phobia... one crawls over my foot, and I almost die.

Hahaha you should add this . . . The camel spider is not a spider at all, because it has ten legs and only two eyes. =) However when you step on one it sounds like you are stepping on a pile of twigs cause they're so huge ^.^
