Walt Disney is supposed to have started drawing the mice that were running
around...

Huh, a Camel Spider? Aside from that being one of the creepiest things
on the planet what would inspire you to ASCII art that sucker?

Don't think so. Maybe related tho. These live in Arizona.
Normally only about inch (2-3cm) long. A big one might be 2-3
(incluing legs).

One was runnning around. Like Walt's mice. Don't seem to much
creepier than any other spider to me (but they are smaller?),
but at a glance they can look like a real scorpin and cause a bit of
concern.

It got munged before it got back to me.
Fixed:

Huh... well great. :P Yeh while I was in Kuwait these were reported
to be the big thing to avoid. But now thanks to this I am learning
that Conus (U.S) has these as well in the desert regions.

Oh well. They are fast, they are creeeeepppyyy looking, but they are
also great eaters of actual scorpions and other insects, and not
actually poisonous. Just reallly really creepy.
