Dang redheaded centipedes!
Those things are scary, fast, aggressive, and really poisonous. An 8 inch one was going for my Wife and her dog and hissing while doing it, so I kicked the fucker and plugged him twice. I HATE those things. They are lethal to small dogs and small children but a full grown adult would just be in agonizing pain for a couple of days to a week.
Not good!
Me, I hate rattlin' snakes. Where I grew up in SE PA, we didn't have any, so I could roam the fields and woods with no problem. We had copperheads, but they are more likely to try to avoid ya, so no biggie. But when I moved to rattlin' snake country they scared the shit outta me many a time - LOL. I'm like Indiana Jones when it comes to snakes anyway.
Copperheads pack a bit of poison. My uncle got bit by one rebuilding a free standing stone wall and was close to death for a bit due to him have a heart valve issue. But they do tend to scurry off, Rattlers not so much. I got so paranoid about scanning the area for shaded rocks and holes, paid off as nobody got bit that was around me.
