i feel like it was only a week ago that the highs were 90f and i was dying wearing black to school but now we gotta bring the cactus in so they don’t freeze overnight and start a fire in the morning
YUP, STILL not keen on ever getting stung by one of these bad boys. Coyote is doing us a service, fam
[That fuckin’ tarantula hawk, man.]

Yeah, uh... I have some bad news for you: http://bugguide.net/node/view/3920/data
They’re rare though. I only saw it because I live out in the sticks outside the city and almost ran it over with my car.

Did you recognize the dirt or is it ‘cause I said where I live? Because if you recognized it by the dirt I’m impressed. And confused.

Thanks! I have a rad phone thanks to my parents and I’ve followed these little shits around enough to know that they don’t give a shit about anything when they’re dragging a tarantula around. So I got REAL CLOSE.
The tarantulas are so nice. They don’t deserve this. They never hurt anything. ;_; I feel bad like maybe I should have stepped on it but I don’t think that it helps. You can’t really stomp these wasps to death (my dad tries but it takes a lot of stomping) and it’s just gonna give up on that spider and go choose another one for the horrible death, I think. And it is awful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarantula_hawk
