    Did he bite you ? is that how he got the name
    Nope, Dub keeps his inards liquified in other ways!

    1/2 giant abdomen creepy shiny pincher thing
    That would probably be a centipede...


    In the past few weeks on my trail runs I have seen a few rather large taranchulas

    along with a lot of desert tourtoises...I generally just pick them up and move them off the trail so they don't meet there maker under the tires of a mtn bike.
    They are much nicer than the usual that I run into on the trail...

    holy crapola, I had to remove 2 tarantulas when Dave was gone from INSIDE the garage, some very large spider inside the living room, kind of hairy 8 legs....then the weird bug I described above had only 6 or maybe 8 legs. Dave chucked it way over the fence ....I should have taken a pic...cuz it's like nuttin' I've ever seen! I'm keepin' my windows up so these critters done get inside the cabin of the VX (probably a futile effort....) I can just see me gettin' in and taking off then finding a tarantula climbing around inside...OMG, please don't let that happen! I just don't like bugs & spiders.....call me a wuss but I just can't deal with them! Mice, rats, birds, no problem. Unidentifiable 6-8 legged critters.....PROBLEM!

    I remember in my mis-spent yoot settin and watchin Tumble Bugs (in Okla.) for hours..For those that don't know, a tumble bug is a bug that takes pieces of fresh cow dung and makes a ball (about the size of a quarter) out of it . Then it pushes its prize back to its hole to feed its young. so ya sit the watchin this bug push a ball of sh.t along...of course the ground is not level so as it pushes it up little hills it starts to get away from him on the downhill side, so he grabs hold and the bug and ball of sh.t tumble over and over. Hence "tumble bug". it's very funny to see. I learned some of life's greatest lessons from watchin them. 1. To some it's sh.t, to others it's a prize 2. Hang on to your sh.t 3. Sometimes ya havta work a sh.tty job to keep your family fed. Well thanks for listning.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Found another one of these critters in the parking lot tonight...



    Gonna have to think of some creative use for him (or her)

    There are a couple of folks I can think of that would have the proper appreciation of one of these down the back of their shirt...

    Or maybe in their purse...

    Do those things hibernate through the winter? Or do they just hatch that big? seems awfully early (April for chrissake) for a freshly hatched waterbug to get that big...

    Good point, I'm pretty sure it's not the same one, as I released "Bitey" into the wilds of the storm sewer near my home, which is about two miles as the bug crawls.
