I found this bug in my house and can't seem to figure out what it is. I live in Monterey, CA.

@samlx0310,
It looks like a type of spider to me. Camel spider maybe?

@rosborne979,
That's exactly what it is. I have a 11 month old son and I was afraid it might of been poisonous. Thanks for the help.!

It's an arachnid, but not a spider. They're commonly called camel spiders, wind scorpions, sun spiders or solifuges.
