Although the creatures shown in the photograph above appear to be far too big for camel spiders, they look misleadingly large because of their closeness to the camera, which creates an illusion of exaggerated size. (Note their size in comparison to the uniform sleeve which appears in upper right-hand portion of the picture.)

Wow, that's fucking huge.

[ermitonto]

No, it really isn't. It just looks huge since it's being held right up to the camera.

After a quick Google search, it seems the largest spider has a 28 cm (11 in) legspan, and is known as a goliath bird-eating spider.
