Default look what I found!!!!!

I found this camel spider in my basement the other day. I had no idea they lived in my area. I couldn't believe it. earlier this year there were dozens of wolf spiders and I noticed that they were disappearing. I thought it was from lack of food but I think this guy was the culprit. I know some of them can grow really big. Does anybody know this species? how big can it get?

from what I have researched, they are not spiders. they are kind of a cross between spider and scorpion but they are in their own group. they do look a lot like termites though. I also found out that it is very full of babies and all those little whiteish dots are eggs. also I guess the North American species do not grow too large. still trying to figure out the species.
