Deadliest Catch... Arizona style

[the]

that's cool. do you think you could put some of them in a container, put in a box, and mail me some? my youngest son would love them!

I'm not sure what the postal regulations are about mailing live insects. The bark scorpions can offer a very serious sting. We had a friend whose daugther got stung when she was 18 months old. She ended up in the ICU for a few days. We keep them around for a few days then let them go out in the desert.

re: bark scorpions...........very venonmous. danger to infants and elderly. CAN BE FATAL. they are the worst of the bunch. big juans will give equal to a good bee or light wasp sting.

mailing them or any dangerous critter via uncle sams postal will get you a FELONY! they dont like them any more than i do!

wally walapai and his kissing assassin cousins will fly in stealth like/crawl stealth like to any area that has living creature man or beast. very agile and fast on their lil feetzie's when empty of blood. fast lil flyers, w/agile banks turns and dips flight characteristics. kind of like a ME-262 of the bug world.

when engorged on blood and dragging their fat lil a$$'es after filling up, they will generally make their escape via climbing straight up walls to corners away from any ground traffic controllers like myself with a mean a$$ DEATH FLIP FLOP!

their probiscus(the thang they stick you with) is sharper than any man made needle ever made. you will never notice them sucking your blood unless of course your too drunk or stupid to remove them from your body when you see one!

only the following am when you wake up will you notice welts. BIG WELTS! and they itch/HURT like hell! then lil clear pus emerges a few days later, and they itch even more. then they scab up and generally 3 weeks later they have either left a scar or cleared up.

HAPPY DEATH FLIP FLOP ATTACK TIME is usually around 9 pm when it is dark out. full moon/no moon doesnt matter. favorite home........the pack rat nest which mr packus rattus usually may have HANTAVIRUS!

so in other words the damn bug is sucking blood from pack rat then sucks blood from your dog /cat and then finds you thru crack in door or screen and then sucks your blood! NOT MY FREEKING IDEA OF FUN!

yes all pack rat nests on my property have been molotoved cocktailed or destroyed by shovel to eliminate problem. it still doesnt help since im surrounded by raw sonoran dezert.

solution.................drink more beer , buy bigger faster deadlier flip flops!

Chuck, I think you're a bit nutz, but fun and entertaining.

masraum............its all an attempt to mask pain death and misery in my life!

its almost 900pm and its time for pain death and misery to be inflicted on the "wally walapai tribe " of blood sucking assassins!

i kid you not it is a nightly battle. in the morning at 6am my stucco walls by my back door are splattered with blood!!!! like back splatter from a gun shot ! it aint fun nor pretty and there is no pesticide to kill them unless they walk directly into it and they are all flying in, not walking. go after all livestock around here also. like mini vampire bats!

i cant lock my dogs up and they are a PITA to keep in all night, kinda like infants crying farting etc. all night long. then if the cops/fire truck comes by the dogs start howling. see my point. so i kill as many as i can so they dont start another colony. i have 6 minutes to clean polish my deadly FLIP FLOPS before i go into blitzkreig mode.

some nights its like a freeking hollywood freaky horror movie w/how many are crawling up the walls. will try and get some pics of them!
