Re: Project Exploration (sun spiders)

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

    Having studied and collected spiders for over 20 years, most arachnids 
don't bother me at all (jumping spiders are even "cute" in my opinion).  But 
those solpugids are really creepy, even if they aren't venomous.
    Even seeing one specimen in the daytime is enough to make my skin 
crawl----I can't imagine having hordes of them invade your campsite at 
night.  I thought the movie "Arachnophobia" was kind of silly, but if you 
put solifuges in the place of the spiders, that would definitely be scary.  
Or better yet, a remake of "Them" with giant solifuges instead of 
ants----with today's special effects, that would be quite a horror show.  
Anyway, glad to know I am not alone in being a solifugophobe.  I'm 
definitely going to have nightmares tonight.
