Let's add a large creepy crawly. Note the hundreds of babies riding on back half of mom's body.

Do you have access to a can of aerosol and a lighter? If not, I highly reccomemd it.

This was in Estes Park. We were working in the park and he would join our morning safety meetings. He would eat about 5' from us. Pretty neat.

As long as they stay outside the house and yard Mrs bo allows them to exist. Inside the perimeter, instant and complete anilhilation.

Someone's bees enjoying my poppies.




Had a Western Tanager come to our feeders before heading up to the mountains.

That's like a school bus for little spiders! Now I feel like things are crawling all over me. Great photos.

2008 before I realized mom carried babies. Showing off for the minions, I coaxed one slightly larger than that one off of a board and onto my hand. When I slowly lowered my hand for the grand kids to see one of them let out a shriek and I flinched. Momma spider deposited hundreds of babies on my hand and arm. Did a little shrieking of my own.

We still laugh about it. Stills gives me heebie jeebies when I think about it. I don't pick up spiders any more.

Spiders cost me close to $1,200 this year in vet bills so F them. Spiders, snakes and crows are the only real thing I kill for just the sheer enjoyment.

Spiders don't bother me much...except black widows. Those I'll kill. Others I try to leave alone. It's amazing how many insects they kill here.

This area is also known for rattlesnakes. I saw the first one yesterday. It had been run over and killed on the little side road we live on. I'm really worried about the dogs getting bit. The little blue healer pup has had the vaccine but not the other 3.

Somebody help me identify this little guy. A youngun, about the size of a Robin, just sitting/sleeping on a stack of pallets. He let me get very close before reacting. Not sure if he was hurt, ill or just too young to fly away.

I thought it was a young Osprey chick but now not so sure after looking at some photos.

Anybody know for sure?
