River spotted this critter through the slider glass door on our back patio before I did. Thought it was a fat and fast scorpion until I saw that it wasn't. Turns out it's a camel spider. Not actually a spider or a scorpion and not harmful to humans. Can move up to 10mph/16kph!

Very cool; I've never heard of these before. Good to know it's harmless, in case one gets indoor.

Was in the middle of my lunch break workout or would have saddled up the MacTak
