Dude, I saw that very picture in the local newspaper! My Mom freaked out! She screams when she see's a little grass spider, I think it'd be funny just to see her see one of those! (She just said to me "That's mean!")

Here's what the article says......

RAID!!!!!
"Joe Bob Hicks, son of Wanette area resident Joe Hicks, sent his family this picture of some of the wild livestock U.S. troops are dealing with in Afghanistan. Hicks said soldiers formerly would shoot the camel spiders until it was determined they were using too much amunition. Army officials ordered them to use hammers to kill the arachnids. The spiders crawl into the tents at night and bite the sleeping troops. The bite itself is not severe; however, the infection they cause creates a large wound, Hicks said."
