      @Oaktavia btw, hope you caught that sucker before he bit ya! I did a lot of research on both chiggers and ticks back in the day when i used to be a land surveyor - they're generally pretty harmless but are hella sneaky!

          @Oaktavia LOL yeah, I don't like them in the house, but outside I usually just let them be. The ones I mentioned are cool to look at, and they generally help with the crazy amount of winged menaces like mosquitoes and whatnot. They all have their place and I don't like to disturb anything I don't need to - to avoid disrupting the balance. We name all of the regulars lol. Frogs, snakes, spiders, etc, even the blue tailed skinks we have around.

            @WhiskeySandwich That's rad man, sounds like we have a lot in common, nature and denim-wise. I have only seen one blue tailed skink and it was at my Nana's in Prince Frederick.

              @Oaktavia hell yeah brother! I'm about 5 minutes ride from there, and I live in the sticks, so we have loads of em. All kinds of wildlife coming through our place, we just enjoy spotting them.

                        Found a stick insect on the side of our house this evening.

                        Edit: looking closer, it seems to be missing a back leg.

                            In the field yesterday ran across this mid-sized tarantula. They are never small, this one was about 10 cm diameter. Been a long time since I last saw one. She was out hunting as the sun fizzled out and things began to cool down. Only detedted us when we were 3 mts away and froze in this position.

                                @SKT nice, I'm pretty sure I saw one of those flutter by the other day in my backyard.

                                        Look at this crazy lookin' fecker. Looks like a wasp, actually is a fly. You can tell by the eyes...beady little eyes. It's called the Virginia flower fly.
