I'm pretty sure that's a camel Spider. Although the one in your picture there is most likely a baby. Full grown ones look more like this: http://www.camelspiders.net/spiderpictures.htm

Yeah... a camel spider bite, sure. What did he do, rub shit and tabasco in it afterwards? They have no venom.

So do you. Take a nip at your hand -you know, draw blood- and see what doesn't happen.

Camel Spider. I did some time in Iraq....they are every where there. There was a sort of urban legend I guess you could say that said that there bite has a numbing effect, so they would bite you while you were asleep and just start eating you. There were horror stories going around that soldiers were waking up missing ears or there noses and shit like that. Did know it wasnt true till I came home and actually looked it up

I've seen that picture on a site showing the stages of a Brown Recluse bite.

I thought Sun Spider, which aren't really spiders. Might be the same thing.

Mating starts with the male and female locating and identifying each other using a mixture of pheromones and vibrational communication; once they have satisfied each other that they are of opposite sex and of the correct species, mating can commence.

The courtship starts with the male grasping the female’s pedipalps with his own; the pair then performs a "dance" called the "promenade à deux". In reality this is the male leading the female around searching for a suitable place to deposit his spermatophore. The courtship ritual can involve several other behaviours such as juddering and a cheliceral kiss, in which the male's chelicerae--clawlike mouthparts--grasp the female's in a smaller, more intimate version of the male's grasping the female's pedipalps and in some cases injecting a small amount of his venom into her pedipalp or on the edge of her cephalothorax,[4] probably as a means of pacifying the female.

When he has identified a suitable location, he deposits the spermatophore and then guides the female over it. This allows the spermatophore to enter her genital opercula, which triggers release of the sperm, thus fertilizing the female. The mating process can take from 1 to 25+ hours and depends on the ability of the male to find a suitable place to deposit his spermatophore. If mating goes on for too long, the female may eventually break off the process.

Once the mating is complete, the male and female quickly separate. The male will generally retreat quickly, most likely to avoid being cannibalized by the female, although sexual cannibalism is infrequent with scorpions.

I see Harvestmen all the time in our building and the surrounding area. Specifically the Phalangium opilio. This isn't such a surprise as we have permanent shades, white concrete walls and sun-bleached wood for them to lurk on.
I think they're quite cute. I've liked them since I was a wee toddler.
