  Cool but none for me thanks,  I was always told "they are more scared of you than you are of them......fine but I cant poison someone with just a touch.

     To bad you couldn't use a filter and make it look like the critter from Predator.

we're modelers it's what we do

My uncle who lived for decades in Morenci AZ used to terrify us as kids with dire warnings of always having to shake your shoes out before slipping them on, lest one of those critters had found a cubby-hole there.

('Course...since we lived in suburban Chicago...they were a little bit less of a threat....) Big Smile

In central Arizona, they live in the palm trees among other places. In high school I used to have a job trimming palms. Every once in a while you'd lop off a big frond and the critters would pop out and scare the !@#$$^% outa you. The smaller ones are actually more hazardous than the big ones, but I'm not particularly fond of either.

Just happened to glance out the slider this morning and saw one of our dogs nose to nose with this critter on the back patio… had to get her away from it double quick before she learned they are not friendly the hard way!

 

 

 

I think he had already been poisoned by the way he was acting since our home and yard get a monthly treatment from our exterminator… but I gave him a couple dousings of acetone then later flipped him over to deliver a fatal penetrating wound when the acetone hadn’t quite finished him off….

 

 

Biggest one that I’ve seen here yet. Tough critter too! That armor is hard!

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...
