the Insects of Afghanistan

The insects in Afghanistan are huge and nasty looking. This spider was in Dr. Drew's building where he sleeps. He sent me a picture of it next to a pen so you could see just how big it was (it was the full size of the pen). I can't find where I saved that pic. So this one will have to do for now.
I think he said a nurse took this picture below. Sure Dr. Drew, blame it on the nursing staff!
Drew says these flies are totally aggressive. When you swat at them, they don't leave like the flies in the US do. They stay and attack - or do whatever it is they're doing in this picture!
