Faustian Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 The Pitviper is a magnificent looking creature. Scary as hell, but the colouring is awesome. Nature is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Not sure but if you say so, it would be a comforting thought that someone is more afraid of spiders than I am. -> someone very close to my heart saw me running away from her in a BKK street because there was a 2cm wide spider on the wall... Talk about irrational fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drogon Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 sayjann: Goliath birdeater and Japanese spider crab must be to your taste? I am sure that seeing these I either die from a heart attack or if a weapon is nearby that I will go berzerk, what about you? (first time I read about a "gian" spider was in Sir A Conan Doyle, Holmes novel) The picture is to thank you for nearly giving me a heart attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drogon Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Welcome to the "bunch of pussies" club.... This is probably one of the reasons why I don't like walking in forests or diving....

teddy Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Although some expats in the Gulf who have gotten pissed and fell asleep in the desert have woken up to find parts of themselves eaten by a camel spider. These things inject you with anaesthetic so you can't feel yourself being eaten. I know someone who had one of his cheeks eaten away and at the end you could see straight into his mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
