    This is a sun spider - an arachnid in the Order Solpugida. Other common names include include camel spider, wind scorpion, sun scorpion. While it has been reported to have the ability to bite, it is easily avoided. Don't play with it.

What kind of spider is this? [ 4 Answers ]

I got two of these in my backyard. I've done some research but can't seem to find any spider that looks like this. I'm thinking it's some type of orb-weaver because it does spin a web in a circular pattern. Also, is it poisonous? If so, how potent is the venom towards people and dogs?
