You were wondering about safety when picked up a wild and potentially dangerous reptile?! Wuss

Even though not venomous, they apparently do have a decent bite

I think I'm gonna have very bad dreams after seeing those spiders. They are my #1 fear in this world. I have many cans of raid around my house to help get rid of those evil, vile creatures.

The previous pix were when me and "friend"

went for a hike a few years ago and these were some of the picks.

There was a story about this very day at CS but is now apparantly in digit heaven.

Very nice use of the Macro, kenstogie. Very nice.

kenstogie · 09-21-2010, 01:21 PM

Really it was just an old Canon A620 p-n-s, but it really worked very well.

Nice looking photo's Ken, especially #47 w/the butterfly

MarkinAZ · 09-21-2010, 08:10 PM

Daughter and some of her friends came running in this evening and said I should see some grasshoppers they discovered:

Cicadas were cool, until I moved to Okinawa...they are the size of a golfball here and have no concept of personal space....and they scream bloody murder when they fly!!

Looks like the writing spider in my garden. Great pictures

Dave128 · 09-22-2010, 09:38 AM

That's a nasty looking creature.
