Despite its appearance, the creature is neither a spider nor a scorpion, although they are related.
"I didn't know they are native to Arizona," Acosta told KNXV. "I have seen camel spiders, but I heard of them in Iraq."

The camel spider is non-venomous, but can grow big enough to eat small rodents, birds, lizards and insects.
Acosta told KNXV that he's calling an exterminator.
