My friend Josh told me about Wind Scorpions today. Otherwise known as suns spiders, these little beauties have stronger jaws than a great white—relative to size obviously. Last night I actually had a nightmare about spiders. They were large furry brown ones about the size of a dinner plate and they were attacking me. I think these wind scorpions, which are actually more spider than scorpion, might be my new no. 1 fear. So thanks Josh.
By the way, you can see a delightful picture of Josh here.

I just got that National Geographic with them in it in the mail. Those are so cool, I need to see some video of them. the rest of the issue was great too, especially the photographs of the sun and the article about the Barabaig.
