One just ran right by me, out in the open, zipping across the floor at top speed.

They kind of freak me out.

Thing is, they eat everything else.

So I leave them be.

This one was fucking huge though.

He's got to be eating a lot to maintain that size.

I have these and wolf spiders at my house, although I see them less often since I regularly bomb the place for fleas. I'll take spiders and 'pedes over the testicle-stinging scorpions I had at my last apartment.

Alright.

For some reason, that apartment had little scorpions in it and it wasn't even on the ground level. They were wise and taught me how to not live like a total bachelor.

Leave pants on floor. Scorpions go in pants. I put pants on. Feel pinch and weight dangling. Feel liquid fire sting. Scream. Rip pants off. Shake them out. Smash with book. Sit bareassed at PC, dangling one of the little bastards by its tail, and frantically search to see what species they were. They were Carolina Devils. Harmless; the pain and little welts would disappear within fifteen minutes or so.

After 18 spider bites in a month, I shook out shoes, clothes, bedding. 30 years later and more northern country? Some habits are worth keeping
