LOL That's GREAT. If they can use Black Widow I don't know why they
couldn't use Camel Spider. Or maybe use it on the next tank or
something.

But camel spiders are hideous, "wrong" looking things.
Hell, they're not even real concerned with being symmetric
and I doubt they're really spiders.


They're bilaterally symetric but ugly nontheless. They're not spiders
but Solifugids. They have two sets of independantly articulating jaws

OK, maybe, *MAYBE* they're born and supposed to grow that way but
I'm yet to see an example of one that wasn't missing the ends of at least
one of that too large number of legs.


I don't know about Solifugids/SunSpiders/CamelSpiders/WindScorpions
(they're all the same) but for tarantulas losing a limb is nothing.
There's currently one I know of that had a bad molt and only has three
legs (and I think it's missing it's fangs too) and it's probably going
to make it from the looks of it.




(freaky to watch them chewing stuff up), are not venomous and are
reputed to have the strongest bite power per pound of anything but
personally I think that is an exageration. Ants or termites would be
my guess. They'd be a lot more well known except they don't do well
in captivity so people don't keep them like tarantulas. Speaking as
someone who has a T and is familiar with the hobby I can say a lot of
people would like to have them if they lived longer in captivity.
They're just too cool looking :-)

Any others lately?

"Trilithon"

A very good name!, but you may have to convert that into something the
US would digest...

'Rocky' perhaps!...

Cheers

How about calling it 'The Atkins' as it needs to lose about 3,500 pounds

Have you heard the one about Lift Demons powering aircraft ? I reckon
the F35 has gained so much weight because the X35 lift Demon, on
winning the competition, celebrated by eating the losing Lift Demon
that was powering the Boeing competitor. That celebratory feast has
since proven too much for the LM Lift Demon, causing it to put on too
much weight.

(don't get rid of the dontspam though ;-)

reminds me of a Jo Brand joke:

"inside every fat person there's a thin person trying to get out
....it's because we eat them"

If it has shch a screamer of an engine sound-wise, call her the Banshee.
Banshee II anyone?

I suppose "Mulciber" would be too obscure....

How about F-35 Recluse? Or F-35 Tarantula?

I still like Banshee though....
