Answer 3

Throwing dead camel spiders!  

It's a terrific little beast.

More accurately known as solifugae.  In fact they are not really spiders, though they are related.  All spiders inject venom into their prey (or anybody else they bite); camel spiders do not.

These are awe-inspiring creatures, very impressive.  Take a look at my first link and see the size of the solifuga's mouth-parts!  They are not venomous but can produce an impressive bite for a bug, definitely more impressive than a mouse bite.  The Middle Eastern camel spider can be 5 inches across; but we have camel spiders in the California desert too; not so big.

The second link shows the everyday life of a solifuga, including eating a scorpion.
