The bird-eater was in Pennsylvania. I had no idea those things were so strong!

I got pinched by one of those fuckers when I was about 6 and it tramatized me forever. Maybe it just hurt worse when I was little, but I donno. Recently when I was at my grandma's I saw a wolf spider coming at me and it was fucking HUGE....why do bugs have to even exist?!? I know I know, they do stuff and stuff. *sighs* :confused:

praying mantisis are my favorite insect.
two summers ago, I had picked up one,
and kept on pointing it towards other bugs.
it would see them, and jump at them. it killed 2 for me
before I let it go. way better than throwing grasshoppers into spiderwebs.

those things fuck some shit up.
they are all buisness...it's like 1-2-3-snap.

only thing comparable to seeing that is the time I saw one
of those wasps that kill wolf spiders.

I watched a ghecko stalking down a huntsman spider on the fence outside earlier tonight. It was well wicked (y) I didnt see the capture and kill unforunately, the ghecko chased the spider across the other side of the fence.

When I arrived at work this morning there was a praying mantis on the front door right by the doorknob. Normally, I would have stopped to admire it, but I was actually a little scared of it b/c of this :(

when a preying mantis is on the court, it can't be beat.

[Mcmac]

so bumped this thread just to say that

[CJM]

i havn't seen a praying matis before. it must be too cold here, or something. that's pretty intense that it killed a hummingbird.
