Found some info that calls this a species of camel spider, but if anyone has seen anything like this, I’m curious! 2nd 1 like this I’ve had in my house! This one on front porch
These are Solifugaes which are often called sun spiders or camel spiders.
I have encountered two of these in the past week. One on my front porch and the second on my deck. One during the day and one at night. I would like to know what species it is and if it is venomous since I have curious Westies. I am in the Canon City area at 6500″,
