This is a Camel spider, also referred to as a Sun Spider or Wind Scorpion. They are typically found in exterior cracks or crevices, and occasionally inside homes. In this instance, the specimen was caught on a monitoring glue board placed on the side of a garage door. Notably, Camel Spiders do not belong to the spider or scorpion families. Instead, they belong to their own taxonomical order, Solifugae. A key distinction between true spiders (Araneae), scorpions (Scorpiones), and Solifuges is the absence of venom glands, stingers, and silk spinnerets in Solifuges. As a result, they do not leave behind webs, bite, or sting. If you still prefer not to have them around, we can provide assistance in keeping them away without a long-term contract or early termination fee.
