    Can you spot a faker?

    They have messed up already, the first picture is real. It's two camel spiders stuck together and held close to a camera. Check his hand for reference.

    I thought the exact same!

    But read here (http://www.hoax-slayer.com/camel-spider-hoax-email.html)

    It claims the picture is real, but the information about them is fake!

    They're actually fairly harmless.

    ha ha so did I ... I'm so gullible ... I asumed they where all real.

    maybe that site is the hoax, and they really are real but they want us all to think they aren't!
