Creepies (Fear Friday)

One of my bloggy friends does a "fear Friday", on the theory that confession is good for the soul.  I think everyone, or almost everyone, has things they are irrationally afraid of.  For me, it is spiders.  I have a complete phobia of them.

So of course, the Wolf keeps offering to send me home one of these: 



That would be a Camel Spider.  Their Scientific name translates to "Those Who Flee From The Sun".  I suggested garlic and a wooden stake.  Sgt Chimo reports that the preferred method is a flame thrower.

I made a face book comment about Camel Spiders, and another friend pointed out to me this lovely creature: Camel Crickets ( aka Spider Crickets, Sand Treaders).




Now I am normally fond of insects and arthropods, with the general exception of spiders, ticks, and centipedes (although I don't mind harvest men (daddy-long-legs) and I think millipedes rock).  But there are some thing in the world that just creep me out.

    After watching Spike TV's "Deadliest Warriors", I wanted some ballistic Gel dummies and some dead piggies to "play with my toys" on; but maybe if I ask nice, the Wolf would send me home some 2 legged creepies to "play" with.
    Oh never mind, the bleeding hearts here would allege torture ... its not nice to package them up and ship them Canada Post ...

    Oh dear friend, you post any pictures of centipedes on your site, and you'll be officially removed from my blog list.
    Joking ... love you. I loath camel spiders. Horrible creatures.

I can see from StatCounter that some of you are trying to comment, but those comments are not making it through. I was unable to comment on Blogs while using Internet Explorer; I had to switch to Google Chrome.
I love hearing your thoughts, and do publish everything that isn't spam.
