that fucking worm... STOP POSTING [B]HUGE[/B] IMAGES!!!!!!!!! SCARES THE SHIT OUTTA ME.

One time I got stung by a scorpion while my foot was under the desk of my computer, it just crawled out of the wall and onto my foot. After reading this I had to pick my legs up and sit in the chair cross legged. I find this stuff interesting, but I get paranoid.

I fucking hate japanese spider crabs! Gahhhhh!

[QUOTE=archangel125;22204208]Oh. Maybe the wound got infected, then. In that environment, infections come easily.[/QUOTE] Im not an expert on camel spiders. But what you say may be true, but i probably think they carry a lot of bacterias. Like the Komodo Dragon, it mainly kills the pray only because of the dangerous bacterias they have in their mouth. So a creature don't need venom to create a horrible bite.

Fucking spiders, I can handle the giant crabs, the giant worm and most other things you can throw at me,but not spiders.

[QUOTE=Tippmann357;22204337]Too bad the pictures are confirmed brown recluse bites[/QUOTE] As i said, I'm not an expert.

I think most of them looks cute. Minus the "poisonous" part for worm and jellyfish. Squid looks sad. :(

I live in a tiny Cornish fishing village, so i get to see some creepy shit when the tide goes out. Most of it comes from fishermen who throw unsellable things overboard as they come into port. They usually include huge spider crabs, not nearly as big as the Japanese variety, but still fucking big enough, and other things like the heads of giant angler fish. Still the scariest thing i have ever seen has to be a gargantuan jellyfish, literally the size of a breakfast table, oozing in the empty riverbed surrounded by children prodding it with sticks.

I think the most amazing creatures are the precambrian ones that aren't ancestors of any life left on earth today. [img]http://www.karencarr.com/auto_image/auto_image_mid/Burgess_Shale_Hallucigenia.jpg[/img] It's called hallucigenia because of how weird it is. It has 2 sets of appendages that are useless for locomotion, and a weird blob at one end that scientists have designated to be the head, but it has no features common with heads such as sense organs or a mouth.

[QUOTE=GranaMan;22203525] Camel spider Giant Camel Spiders have been known to run around 10 MPH. Although most Camel Spiders are about the size of a credit card, they have been know to grow larger than 10 inches, especially in the deserts of the Middle East. Camel Spiders are common in the Middle East, but they can also be found in the southwest U.S. and Mexico. The Mexican's call Camel Spiders matevenados, which translates to"deer killers" in English. They are not venomous but can leave a terrible wound if bitten. [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/2hwk65v.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] That thing is fucked up.

[QUOTE=Meatmuppet;22203567]Anything that's above 10 meters in length and in the deep ocean scares me. Hell, the deep ocean itself scares me. Scientists have discovered so little of all of the ocean life on this planet.[/QUOTE] You're gonna love the bloop.
