Location: Southeast | Photo from our troops in Baghdad of a GI holding two spiders with pliers.
One soldier was bitten by a camel spider which was hiding in his sleeping bag. I thought you'd like to see what a camel spider looks like. It'll give you a better idea of one of the environmental hazards our troops face on a daily basis.
photo is a close-up so they look even larger.
Not a "doctored" photo. These spiders are real!
