Marines Vs a Camel Spider
January 5th, 2009 | by MakingMarines |
The spider thrown was already dead, I made this video in Iraq
below is the blog post wrote for video (PS Tito, the last spider on the film died and was encased in epoxy and now sits on my shelf)
When stress comes calling…
I really didn’t have a reason to be feeling stress, yes it has been a little busier and we’re at the 1/3 mark in the deployment. Too much work and not enough play must have been adding up. So tonight when I walked outside of my office and saw the dead camel spider sitting on the ground. A light bulb blazed to life in my head and I swear I heard a devil giggling in my ear. I had found my outlet. The idea was a hodgepodge of blog posts about camel spiders and how I was always talking about grown Marines screaming like little girls. Tonight I will have proof!
So I bent over and picked critter up, pulled my digital camera out of my pocket and started a quest to all of the shops around the squadron. My plan of attack was; I would walk up to people filming and tell them I was making a video to send home about Iraq, ask them their name, how they liked Iraq and what they thought of camel spiders and halfway through that question. I would toss the carcass onto their laps. The numbers that came from the process? Out of 15 subjects tested, 5 did indeed squeal like little girls (one was female though). The squealers as a whole did jump out of their chairs or from where ever they were standing, moving almost faster then the eye could see away from the spider. Two of the subjects started swearing a blue streak and vowing revenge upon my body. One forewarned possible subject saw me approaching his area and started picking at his fingernails with a large knife. I didn’t include him in the study.
As soon as I can figure out how to make the quicktime movies from my camera into clips I can use in windows movie maker, I’ll put the highlight moments together and post them on line. I’m too tired and sated with mischief to work on it tonight. Sigh, I’ve opened up a can of worms and I’m sure there will be some sort of payback. At least life will be interesting!

Camel spiders have got balls, but they do not get all that big here in the Mojave Desert..Sometimes you might see a larger one..I did wake up once in the morning with one crawling around in my hair, and I have had many take a run at me..And I was bitten by one on the kneeonce and the spider did not “feed on me” they are just easy to piss of is all..

dont lusten to what anyone else tells you, they dont bite you, only in self defence and even then they contain no venom. so the storys about them killing you in your sleep is a blatent lie. these things are poorly researched but it is easy to gather that much infomation

I love that guy that said he’s not afraid of a camel spider. He would be when it was pretty much feeding off his back and he didn’t even wake up or feel it at all.
Respect our men and women in the Marines. Camel Spiders are nasty creatures and should also be respected for their dangerous characteristics.
