Solifugae
Wicked looking spider. Fast and aggressive. Has 10 leg looking appendages. Tan and brown and dull yellow. Wooly. Ate a moth I trapped in the cup with it over night. Only left the wings.
Seen crossing the concrete in a barn. Took shelter under a block and stayed for several days.
Bryan ...one more suggestion ....please place the 2nd pic as your main pic ...thank you :)
True Emily ...i am sure you will get over your fear of these beautiful crawlies ... :)
Nice! Thanks Atul! I'm trying to get over my fear of these guys! We fear what we don't understand, right? ...they are kind of cute in a terrifying way...
Spot on Emily this is definitely a Solifugae.

I am not a bug expert, you just happen to keep posting creepy spiders I know about. I think this is a wind scorpion/ sun spider. I HATE these guys! They terrify me! They are fast, and mean and...err! I don't know the specific specie though...
