This is a camel spider or windscorpion. They are not venomous, but they can deliver a nasty bite. Their size and dangerousness has been greatly exaggerated; they are, at most, about 5 inches long. You can't really see one of the characteristics to separate families, but from the overall shape and pattern it looks like it belongs to the family Eremobatidae. You'd have to see if the line between the eyes and the jaws is straight (family Eremobatidae) or curved (family Ammotrechidae).

Ah, thank you everyone I never seen one before in Montana, and from your comments I figured it was the Sun-Spider after all.

And the Solifugae kind can grow amazingly large even in the states no matter the breed of Solifugae, but, by my varied know of spiders (Mostly ones that have bitten me), This looks liek a Camel Spider to me.

If found plenty in my boots down south, have to dump them every day so i dont get bit. But, some camel's can grow big even in the states if the condition is right, ive been to Iraq and foudn one of those monster spiders, but i still see them in Texas. They can get a few inches long, but i ain't seen one past four inches down hear, and i had to find the sucker.

Hmmm, by looking at it, i say its some form of a camel spider, and a baby by the photo, they say to be as big as 8 inches in lenght. Dont let him bite you, they may not be venomous, but a bite could make you sick and there jaws can sheer skin. While they are not spiders but just a form arachnid like a scorpion. As long as you dont find a big one, your fine. Hope this helps with your question.
