They're sort of the ground troops to the spiders' paratroops.

The one that bit my kitten was a good 3" long (body, not legs).. it was MASSIVE! The biggest I had seen in our house!

It bit her nose & held on. Jayed screamed & pawed at it to get it off... then the mashing began...

Its always creepy how the legs keep running LONG after the bug is dead
