Those things remind me of those face-huggers in Alien. And they hiss? That is really scary. Shake those boots out each and every time!

When I worked on radars in Thumrait (Oman) back in the early 80's, we used to catch camel and wolf spiders and pot them in acrylic to make paperweights. Someone walked off with my camel spider, but I still have my wolf spider paperweight - he's about 5" across. Here's a picture of it:

FWIW, camel spiders get their name from the fact that they eat camels! Really!! They wait until the camels sit down and go to sleep at night, then they creep up on them and eat the soft fleshy bits (e.g. under the camel's legs). Apparently, they inject a form of local anesthetic just before they bite, so the camels don't feel anything. You can clearly see scar tracks on the camels where they've been "eaten". Scary!
Newbies to Oman were told a cautionary tale about an Airworker who, on his day off, fell asleep on the beach and woke up to find half of one of his lips missing!!!
