Hi Dr. Vijayadas,   This is a Camel Spider also called a Sun Spider / Wind Spider [Family Solifugae]. It is not venemous but has powerful jaws and can run swiftly. Will send you my photographs of this later.                       With regards,                         Neil Soares. --- On Fri, 4/29/11, Vijayadas D <dvija...@gmail.com> wrote:

sir,

 

I have collected this from a villa, in Riyadh, the residential complex where I am working.

 

but  I have a doubt  your fotos are differe from my own , whether sex difference or ecological variation ?
