Hi all. This photo is circulating the net. Calling them spiders that jump and attach the soldiers in Iraq. Can one of our Invert experts properly ID this, and tell us abit about them. Thanks.
(hope the photo works)

Yeah I have seen this posted at least twice on these forums and thrice on another. It's nothing special.
