MORE BUGS!
These are pics of a scorpion I clubbed on the head with a
cocktail glass as it made it's way across my coffee table. I
swept it out the front door and took pics of it on the concrete
in front of the house. It was remarkably healthy looking,
considering all the blunt trauma to the head it sustained. It's
effrontery provoked me.
Happily, and due to little pro-activation on my part, the
scorpion interactions have waned to a mere token of their
glory days, here at the new house.
The bastards. I don't see one for a week, then there's a
fucking litlle one streaking across my desk right at me!
I dispatched that with a hard pack of Marlboros (no photo).

My neighbor, Mark,
sent me this photo of
Mama Scorpion
covered with her
darling children. I'm
not sure what the worm
is up to.

1-21-2008 I took a pic of this preying
mantis that has been making himself
home here (for a week or so) this
morning. He seems to like my old
mermaid doll Gloria gave me for my
sailboat many years ago. I never
noticed how moldy her face had gotten
(the doll's, not Gloria's, I haven't seen
her's for years, though it never
seemed inclined towards molding) till
looking at the photos. I washed her
up, after gently removing the mantis,
then tried to get him back on, but he
was having none of it. She looks
prettier now, but I'll have to do some
special effect stuff to make the picture
any good. I also got the shit out of her
hair, if you care.

It's been awhile since I added a new
bug photo here. Check this guy out.
Big S.O.B., whatever it is. Seems to
like my front door. It's OK with me as
long as he doesn't eat it.
