Learning something new every day
Older Daughter described how she went out to her car the other day to drive to work. It was very early in the morning (maybe 5 am), and she was startled when something scurried away from her in the parking lot. She said it was about 2.5 inches long and looked like a large spider with huge front legs. She managed to snatch a photo.
I asked if it was a scorpion (this is before she sent the photo), and she said no. She said it was a camel spider.
“A camel spider!” I exclaimed. “I thought those were only found in the Middle East!”
It seems not. I looked it up, and by golly they’re also found in North America, notably in drier and more desert-y areas.
And, unmistakably, it was a camel spider (also called a whip scorpion). These are arachnids, but not true spiders. Instead they belong to the order Solifugae, and there are many species spanning both the Old and the New Worlds.
Freaky-looking things, aren’t they? However they’re harmless to humans, can’t climb or spin webs, and are beneficial to the ecosystem.
But yeah … I never knew camel spiders were found in Idaho. Ya learn something new every day.
