No, and incase you're wondering, all the names you mentioned above refer to the same arachnid, the Solifugae. These are not Spiders, but the two share many similar features such as eight legs, obvious fangs, and two separated body parts. The Solifugae is not venomous, nor can its bite be lethal. You should not handle Solifugae however, because their bite is said to be very painful.

What kind of scorpions are found in Wyoming?
Most powerful jaws in the West * Camel spiders, or wind scorpions as they're known here, have pound for pound the most powerful bite of any creature in the desert. * Their "jaws," or chelicerae, which is the insect equivalent, are more powerful, relative to size, than the jaws of a great white shark. * They are hairy, with beady eyes and "Popeye forearms," and they are lightning-quick. * Wind scorpions' jaws are like a combination pincer and knife -- they chew their victims into pulp with a sawing motion, and then exude an enzyme that liquefies the flesh, which they suck into their stomachs. * They not harmful to humans, however.

The smallest camel spiders live in California. because of their shape, size, speed, and nocturnal nature, they can be very hard to spot and so many other species potentially exist. if you find what you think is a camel spider in a place that you feel is not described above, contact a wildlife biologist via the web or any other scource available.
Do peacock spiders kill humans?
First of all, although they are horrifying, they are not even spiders at all. They are called wind scorpions. wind scorpions are in the same group of animals as spiders, mites, ticks and true scorpions, but there are several differences between them. They do not carry any venom and could not kill a human. However, it is easy for a camel spider bite to get infected which could later lead to death if left untreated. Mostly, they eat small rodents such as mice, or lizards. They are only called "camel spiders" because they live in the desert, just like camels do and, contrary to popular belief, only can have a body size of up to 6 inches. They legs often can get longer though.

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.

What 'mini-beasts' live in the desert?

What is the slowest spider in the world?
Nobody can answer that with absoloute certainty since nobody has tested the top running speed of every known species of spider under similar conditions. However, one of the fastest spiders that have been clocked is the Giant House spider (Eratigena sp., (formerly Tegenaria duellica/ T. gigantia). It managed 1.73 feet per second over a level surface, though it can only manage this speed in short bursts before it has to stop to regain energy. Tales of camel spiders achieving speeds of 35-40mph are wrong on two counts; Firstly, camel spiders are not actually spiders but a seperate order of (ten-legged) arachnid known as Solifugae, which are more closely related to scorpions (wind scorpion is their other common name). Secondly, wind scorpions/camel spiders can only manage a top speed of around 10mph across flat terrain. While still very fast, it's way short of the 35-40mph stated on some internet sites. Unfortunately there are numerous urban myths about camel spiders that were based on anecdotal tales told by GI's returning from Iraq and Afghanistan which were clearly intended to scare new recruits, but which quickly spread via the internet, leading to many common misconceptions about them persisting to this day.
What other Arthropoda are related to the spider?
Arthropoda is phylum which includes the subphyla:Subphylum Trilobitomorpha (trilobites - which are extinct)Subphylum Chelicerata (this is the one spiders belong to)Subphylum Myriapoda (centipedes, millipedes and the like)Subphylum Crustacea (crustaceans like shrimp, crabs, lobsters, barnacles, etc.)Subphylum Hexapoda (insects and 3 other classes of 6 legged bugs)Within the subphylum chelicerta you have the related classes:Arachnida - spiders, scorpions, etc.Xiphosura - horseshoe crabs, etc.Pycnogonida - sea spidersEurypterida - sea scorpions (extinct)Within the class Arachnida you have the related ordersAcarina (mites and ticks)Amblypygi (weird looking flat critters called whip spiders and tailless whip scorpions)Araneae (Spiders)Haptopoda (an extinct order that resembled the Amblypygi order)Opiliones (common names for these arthropods include "daddy longlegs" and "granddaddy longlegs" - note that they are NOT spiders)Palpigradi (microwhip scorpion - looks like a tiny 8 legged termite with a long harry tail)Phalangiotarbida (another extinct order)Pseudoscorpionida (false scorpion or book scorpion - tiny arachnids with a flat, pear-shaped body and pincers that resemble those of scorpions - but no scorpion tail)Ricinulei (hooded tickspiders)Schizomida (shorttailed whipscorpion - relatively small, soft-bodied arachnids, somewhat similar in appearance to whip scorpions - although they don't have any "whip" like the whipscorpion)Scorpiones (Scorpions)Solifugae (camel spiders, wind scorpions and sun spiders or solifuges - urban legends tend to exaggerate the size of camel spiders and definitely exaggerate their danger)Thelyphonida (vinegaroons or whipscorpions - look kind of the Schizomida but they have a long, thin whip-like "tail")Trigonotarbida (Extinct - Trigonotarbids can be envisaged as spider-like arachnids, but without silk-producing spinnerets. They ranged in size from a few millimetres to a few centimetres in body length)
