Bugs!!!!

Well, lately, I have been reading one of my co-workers blogs about her problem with LIZARDS being in her house. While I feel for her, I would much rather have lizards in my house than what I found sitting right behind me while scrapbooking this weekend at my dining room table.

Brit, these pictures are for you...
These are pictures of a Tarantula Hawk Wasp! We had one that was as big as they get. It was HUGE and DISGUSTING!

Tarantula hawk stings are considered to be the most painful of any North American insect.

One researcher described the tarantula hawk’s sting this way: "To me, the pain is like an electric wand that hits you, inducing an immediate, excruciating pain that simply shuts down one’s ability to do anything, except, perhaps, scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations.rantula hawk stings are considered to be the most painful of any North American insect.
We were very fortunate NOT to get stung because, at the time, we didn't even know what it was. I hope I NEVER encounter one of these again. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!
