Still feeling buggy. Blah! I hate the flu. Or whatever this is.
It's mean. And it bites.
Like these guys.
Have you ever been bitten by a huge friggin' ant like that one? I stepped on one when I was a teen and it hurt for days. Its body was so strong that I squashed and squashed and it would. not. die.
I've not ever been bitten by a spider that I know of though. The one there is supposedly a spiny orb weaver. We found it while walking a trail at a local wildlife reserve last weekend. She was pretty small... 1/2" or less. But magnified she sure does look fierce. Apparently spiny orb weavers are good garden spiders since they eat pests. I think I prefer her right where she is. Though maybe if she came to visit my gardening would go better considering part of the problem was pests.
Ooor maybe not. I think I'll take my chances.

Gross.
...and sorry you still feel yucky!
Bugs look really freaky up close like that. The ant picture is super awesome!
I've been bit by many ants and spiders. I don't like it one little bit. I drowned/boiled a bunch of ants in our last backyard. They were building hills so I poured boiling water all over them. We had an ant invasion in our kitchen so I had to get rid of the problem.
I've never been bitten by a huge freakin' ant, but I have seen someone shove a stick through one. The ant just kept on walking along like nothing even happened. Stupid ant...didn't even know he was dead.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
at least warn me about spiders....
