Do a search for solifugid, this picture has been discussed lots of times on these boards already.

Cheers,

and on info as to what they are really like, read the sticky on the top of this forum.

Oh, and hoax.

If you look closely at the top of the picture, you can see pliers right next to the lens. This is a way of making the critter seem bigger than it really is.

you know ive looked and looked at this pic for some time..... and even though i KNOW that it is enlarged because of the angle and such.......... those are STILL some of the biggest Solfugids i think i have ever seen without a doubt.
