Hornets are scarey. Very scarey. Why horror films focus on spiders i'll never know, oh wait, it's because spiders are safe to film with.
I have hay feaver, and was once stung in the eye by a wasp or bee, not sure which as I didn't see it (spot the irony there!), unfortunately the insect was carrying pollen and I had an allergic reaction to it in addition to the swelling caused by the sting.
I had my eye out to remove all the pussy gubbins and that was not nice, they didnt knock me out because apparently that would leave me blind - they literally did just 'pop' it out - horrid. It's heavily scarred on the retina meaning I now wear glasses and I used to have 20/20 vision.
So anyway the point to this story is creapy crawlies are evil, particularly stinging ones. I thought of this as I read through this thread, then I thought:
But centipede's!? They are these little tiny things that just run around and don't do much except eat leaves. Why the fuss? Just help mother natures creature back into the garden and problem solved.
Then you say stinging centipedes with a poisonous bite!? This forum doesn't allow me to express my utter bewilderment at such a concept.
Then you say giant ones that are larger than a shoe...!?
We're talking about the same creature right? Those little ugly things that don't freak me out at all (except the thought of lying down on grass and having one creap into my ear - that's a freaky thought for cenitpedes)? Are we really talking about the same creature?
