those crawly ones

[ceagle]

Well it's been years since I saw one of these...
But I caught it creeping up the side of the house practically into the open bedroom window... ;P

Anybody want a scorpion?

*heh* I don't even know how hard they might be to find, perhaps they're in every pet store as food items like crickets n stuff...
I don't go into enough pet stores to know...

But if they're not, any of you nearby with an interest in these lil critters is welcome to 'im...

Eeep! Arachnid! *Hides somewhere far from the little beast.*

yeah,... :> *smiles*
I'm not too fond of critters that exist just to drink blood either... fleas, ticks, spiders,... what gives? eeeesh...
And add skeeters to that list, even tho they're not aracs.... ;P

Skeeters don't bother me, until they are large enough to be the state bird (Minnesota). Mostly, I think, because they largely ignore me. My blood does not taste anywhere near as good as my dad's, and most other people's still seems preferrable to mine.

Besides, they're fun to swat.

Now the diseases they carry, those bother me!

*Wonders if there's a West Nile vaccine available in Spokane County*

Yeah... it really is the disease thang with bloodsuckers (mosquitoes-west nile, malaria, etc,.... fleas-plague, etc.... ticks-lyme, etc...) that leads me to feel they have no positive socially valid use in existence.
I mean, if their existence can weed out millions of people and creatures, sure that's a use, but not a valid social one... *ruffle*

We've lived (sadly though) with many extinct possibly valid creatures (passenger pigeon, dodo, etc) thus I think we'd be plenty okay if the bloodsuckin' non-valid scourges were taken out.. :> In other words, I don't think the food chain will be affected to any degree, and a lot of critters will be a lot less itchy. *hehee*

What about feeding your mamillian copyers, the bats?! I mean, the huge mass of skeeters feed them on a nightly basis...

My point zacly..
I know there's food chains, yupyup.. but as far as we know, no species went extinct when the passenger pigeon (a harmless critter) unfortunately went extinct, and as far as I know, there is no bat that lives exclusively off of mosquitoes... if those disease spreaders should (fortunately) be eliminated..
*scritches ya* :>
