Internet discovers terrifying giant centipede in Texas - UPI.com
I've seen some big centipedes but this one is a whopper! Would pack one heck of a bite too. I didn't take the photo - taken in Austin.
Today I must have sucked up over a dozen black widow spiders in my garage. The shop vac works best on tight spots I would take a torch to. Haven't found many chemicals that work well enough either.
After that little slice of heaven, I cut the lawn. What lawn care project wouldn't be complete without a few fire ant bites. I'm so used to them now they barely phase me.
And of course a wasp the size of a humming bird had to inspect my hat. I'm not afraid of wasps or bees so I just let him nose around and be on his merry way.
After the work I decided to take a dip in the pool. Upon cleaning out my skimmer there were several wolf spiders with bodies about the size of quarters in the basket. I hate sticking my hands in that think.
Tonight I see the dogs curious over something crawling on the hardwood floor...another spider. Looked to be a large wolf spider again - holding its ground until my daughters chiweeni decided it was too good not to eat. That dog has been known to eat mice, rats, fence lizards, geekos...and she made quick work of that spider.
Gotta love Tejas!
