Morning Wake up Call

PSA!
These guys do NOT make for pleasant bedfellows

On the plus side they WILL get you moving at 3am!!!

Oy, not fun. Had a similar encounter with a big wolf spider a couple weeks ago. No going back to sleep after that.

 

[didimauw]

Holy cow.
Scary.

But as someone who's never seen one in real life, I think that's pretty cool. You know, from a distance.

He smoked all your tobacco! What a jerk.

Every time I think I don’t like winter, I think of the critters that would be here if things didn’t freeze and die once a year. *shudder*

Thanks for the reminder! Winter is coming (thank goodness, I guess)

It’s better than mold, I guess.

I'm waiting for @Chasing Embers to show us the ones he keeps as pets.

I'll take that over living in the city any day

Very True.

So small, and yet ate all that tobacco?

they actually stuff it in the stinger. Imagine getting all the nicotine in one tin directly in your bloodstream. It's why they're so deadly.
Got woken up by a spider recently. Smooshed him and it smelled all floral. My theories at somethings that eat flowers or someone grabbed glade instead of bug spray.

A few months ago, I saw a spider on the far wall of my bedroom just as I was in bed about to sleep. I took the lazy route, and decided that I'll just deal with it in the morning.

When morning came, the spider was nowhere to be seen. But I had a huge bite/welt on my neck. (And no superpowers either).
Lesson learned.

I hate it when I see a spider and it disappears by the time I get back with a tissue and I have to burn the house down.

Haven't kept scorpions but there's plenty in Kentucky to play with.

 

[El Capitán]

That's a nope from me. Glad I live in Indiana. Dont have to worry about scorpions. Spiders aren't as bad.

Some scorpions hibernate.

If that cuddly little fella worries you don’t come to Australia

If that cuddly little fella worries you don’t come to Australia

for example they got horses running around. (statistics joke).

Yeah.

Speaking of pets, I had one very similar in colour and size (Australian desert scorpion) when I was a teenager.
Had its enclosure on my bedside table, would wake me up at 3am bashing into the plastic sides, whilst on the hunt.
Wish they ate more often, was a trip feeding it crickets.

Knock out your shoes before you put them on.

Where the hell is the dislike button?!
Didn’t need to know that!
