And this is one of them....
This little cutey just loves wet weather, and we have had a couple of months now, of rainy days - which I think must be the breeding cycle or something - because after a couple of months of wet weather you start to notice these things running around.
And they run fast.
This one was about 9 inches long, but i have seen them over twice this size.
Fortunately you do not see them very often.
If they bite you, you cry. A lot.
Having never had the pleasure of the bite myself, I can only go off reports - but they are all bad.
The most credible one is from a friend of mine who was ex 'special forces'.
He definitely qualified for the 'tough as shit' league.
He got bit by one of these cuties.
HIS words not mine - " I fell to the floor and screamed like a baby for hours" - he said it was the worse pain he had ever endured - and I know some of the others pains he has endured.
Which mean this bite must have been baaaaaaaaaaad
So I killed it. Two times in fact - just to be sure
( I have notice a couple of different types. They are similar- but different.-so I'm not sure if one is worse than the other..)
