This is a harvestman, (Opiliones) an arachnid easily mistaken for a spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvestmen A camel spider (Solifugae) is an entirely different arachnid, sharing the feature of having eight legs. It also is not a spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solifugae This photograph shows a specimen with a leg missing, this is common.
