Arizona Camel Spider (Solifugae) Habitat Transfer
There are approximately 1000 different species of camel spider solifuges. They live in dry arid climates in many places around the world, including in the USA. They are often called sun spiders or wind scorpions, although they are neither spiders nor scorpions. They are arachnids, but they are not spiders. They have no venom but are capable of inflicting a painful bite.

From Wiki: Solifugae is an order of animals in the class Arachnida known variously as camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders, or solifuges. The order includes more than 1,000 described species in about 147 genera. Despite the common names, they are neither true scorpions (order Scorpiones) nor true spiders (order Araneae). Most species of Solifugae live in dry climates and feed opportunistically on ground-dwelling arthropods and other small animals. The largest species grow to a length of 12-15 cm (5-6 in), including legs. A number of urban legends exaggerate the size and speed of the Solifugae, and their potential danger to humans, which is negligible.
