Folks, they _are_ arachnids, but they _are not_ spiders.

Gah. I’ve always hated those things.
We have them down south in the Negev. Back when I was in the army, they’d occasionally crawl into gear left on the ground, causing some very unpleasant surprises. We knew they were harmless, intellectually, but 50 million years of instict would kick in and try to get us to run away screaming.
