Wierd Bug ID

[Ron192]

Hi I live in Nevada and saw a very interesting insect/arachnid (?) bug yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. It was under a log. About 1 inch long and was white to tan in color. Looked kind of like a spider with a few extra legs and a big head with giant pincers at the front of the head. A very menacing looking animal. ??????????

It might have been a sunspider. Go to this link for a good picture of one. http://spiders.ucr.edu/images/solpugid.jpg

If it wasn't a sunspider it might be a Jerusalum cricket? They don't have more legs than a spider, but they do have a huge head with large pinchers. Check out this website for pictures. I wouldn't believe anything I read on this website, but it is a good website for pictures of Jerusalum crickets. www.potatobugs.com

The first one is it. In my post at the arachnid thread, mister internet and alex s they called it a solfugoid and wind scorpion.
