+MountainMudbug Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I was expecting to see a photo of this: I discovered 2 of these travel bugs on my clothes in the past week, one today! I seem to be bite free.... Quote Link to comment
+Team Snoopy Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 What is it?? It's Gross!! Atleast it was on your backpack and not you! Note relating to the ticks, I found one yesterday in my sons head! We went caching on sunday, park on monday and our grassy yard on tuesday, so why thursday he has one, who knows. Luckily it was a dog tick, but still creeps me out! P.S. I hate bugs! Specially spiders! Quote Link to comment

+AuntieWeasel Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 If you keep it, name him Jack Flash. It's a she, according to el Diablo's link. I'm a serious arachnophobe, but I think it's kind of neat. (I suppose I'm not intimidated because it's so little. And because it's not crawling up a hair toward my face. Aaaaaaaaa! Get it off! Get it off!). Note, however, the link's reference to a "painful bite". Quote Link to comment

+TeamTurtles Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 It might be a little hard to attach a tag, but it will fit in a micro. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaoss Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Thats a cool little guy ! The jumping spiders are the only ones I'm not repulsed by / fearful of. Love putting them on the windows of our home: they stalk any bugs that happen by. Quote Link to comment
