More Ickier Spiders

OK, the spider that lives in/on my truck is most likely a teeny, tiny, miniature camel spider.

Yes, I know a camel spider isn't likely to be found in this area, and the one in my truck is smaller than a baby camel spider. But it has to be one.

Where did I suddenly gain insight on camel spiders? From a drunk blonde at a restaraunt. She was clearly very impressed by the phenomenon.

I was horrified. I leaned over to Yaw and said, "She's describing my hood surfing icky spider."

He said, "Not a chance; your spider is much too small. Trust me, I've seen them."

I don't think I want to know how/when/where he saw them. I just want to get rid of the one in/on my truck.

I looked it up on the internet. OK, it doesn't LOOK like my spider a whole lot, but it's still REALLY REALLY REALLY ICKY!

My stomach turned. EW! I did find more useful info than the drunk girl in the bar, but only go if icky spider pictures don't wig you out. I'm sure to have nightmares, myself. http://www.camelspiders.net/ There were other sights as well, but this one seemed pretty up front and out to put all the exaggerated stories (including the ones I'd heard) to rest.

BUT THEY ARE STILL ICKY!
