If it's the pic I'm thinking of, that was 2 camel spiders together. I highly doubt that anyone has brought one to the U.S. They are big, ugly, aggressive and they can bite which is painful but they are not venomous. They aren't even actual spiders, closer to scorpions. They can run up to 10 miles an hour but do not hunt humans. They may show up frequently in tents and things like that but they are seeking shade, not human flesh. They live in warm places and have been found in Mexico so they aren't exclusively middle eastern. Mostly they eat bugs.

Legally, no one is allowed to bring a camel spider to the US, even if it's dead!

Unless some nut-job brings some here, then they will stay in the middle-east, just as they should.

It's a real animal, but the description is inaccurate. Read what snopes has to say about them.
