Since last year, two of my worst insect/arachnid ‘nightmares’ have come true. The first one is obviously about spiders. Everyone has seen those creepy little things hanging in the middle of a cobweb before, right? If you were lucky enough, you might even walk into one =) So I wondered, is there a cobweb-spider big enough that its web will be capable of trapping little birds? If so, would the spider eat it? Being the curious nosy person I am, I did a google research and……found this:
Please don’t look at it if you are hypersensitive to…bad pictures: http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/45089/original.jpg
If that’s not a nightmare coming true I don’t know what it is! I’d throw a uranium bomb if I see one of those near me!
Anyway, moving on. Today I was chatting with a friend on the first floor of my residence. After a few moments I felt both of my legs tingling with pain and itch everywhere. Annoyed, I looked down, expecting a mosquito or two, and saw, instead, about 20 black ants crawling everywhere on my calves! Instinctively I looked around to find the source, and there–right at where I stood–was the biggest and densest pool of black ants I’ve ever seen! Needless to say, I spent the next few minutes running around the hall stomping, jumping, stomping, spinning and screaming. It was so hard to get all the ants off my body!! Luckily (luckily?), I can definitely tell if there’s ants left on my body because they weren’t just crawling, they were biting me! Eventually I got rid of all of them and was sweating cold fear all over me. Why would ants crawl onto humans and bite? Could this be some kind of tropical human-eating ants I read in horror novels before? God, am I glad to be NOT living on the first floor…
So that’s my second insect/arachnid nightmare coming true. Please don’t give me any more of these.
ward them off with baking soda!!! they will explode. at least that should work on ants… ?? xD
