∙ 12y agoNo, it's the third largest.
The first largest spider is the Giant Huntsman Spider.
The second largest spider is the Goliath Birdeater Spider.
The third largest spider is the Camel Spider.
Large spiders, such as camel spiders, are commonly mistaken to have ten legs instead of eight. The two limbs in front that many people mistake for legs are actually ultra-sensitive feelers which feel for prey by sensing vibrations on the ground.
It should also be pointed out that camel spiders are not actually officially considered spiders. They are actually called Solifugae. Which do belong in the Arachnid group, but are not directly spiders. They are closely related to scorpions. Camel spiders were given their name before scientists realised they aren't actually officially spiders. One of the many great mistakes of zoology.

∙ 9y agoA camel spider is an arachnid belonging to the order Solifugae, also known as a solifugid. A camel spider lacks a pedicel - the segment separating the cephalothorax and the abdomen, and is therefore not a true spider.

Where do you find camel spiders?
A camel spider, which is also in the class Arachnida with spiders interestingly enough, is not a spider at all. A camel spider is actually a solpugid, and there are about 900 species of them known to date. Around 50 species of camel spiders are found in southwest US and about 240 in southern Africa. The reason behind the name 'camel spiders' is simply because they are found in the desert. A Camel spider is also known as wind scorpion, sun spider, and wind spider.

Camel spider vs Goliath spider?
A camel spider vs a goliath birdeater.. tough one. Usually the Goliath will win because of size and aggresiveness,plus one inch fangs which can completely pierce the body of the camel spider. Not a tough one at all. A fully grown Goliath can overpower a cat. The Camel spider is simply not strong enough. ________________________________________________________________________ The camel spider is HUGE!!!! Look up it's picture on google, just type it in. It's litterally HUGMUNGUS!!!!!!!!!!! Don't listen to the one answer above mine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously you've never seen the Goliath. It's about the size of one square foot while the camel spider (Solifugae) hardly even grows to 7.5 inches. And why tell him not to listen to me? Hostility much? _____________________________________________________________________ Dude, theyre both still pretty big spiders. the real point is none of us would ever want to meet these things face to face

While it isn't as big in Afghanistan as it is in Iraq, they are still a pest. No one wants to step on a spider that can run away with your shoe.
