Camel Spider - Solifugid


Title:
Camel Spider - Solifugid

Description:
Meet Anubis! The Solifugids/solpugids (sun spiders, camel spiders, child of Earth Spiders, wind scorpions; order Solpugida) are spiderlike and hairy, with two closely placed median eyes. Their most striking characteristic is the enormous size of their chelicerae. These project in front of the head, and each of the pair is composed of two pieces forming a pincer that works in a vertical plane. The pedipalps are leglike, but have a specialized adhesive terminal segment. The pedipalps and the first pair of legs (that have a tactile function) are usually carried above the cephalothorax while the solpugid is standing or running. Solpugids are common in the hot desert regions of the world. These animals cannot be controlled, nor would it be desirable to control them. Source: The University of Arizona.

This is a video of a camel spider taken in iraq inside my hooch. About every week or two there would always be a new spider running in circles in that exact same place that i would have to kill. Does anyone know why this is? Do these things get attracted to specific areas and just like to run laps for hours or what?
