Yeah.

Hobo spiders... they get big (for the PNW at least, 3" leg OD) and can be aggressive.

If I'm quietly working on skis or whatever and hear a little scratching in the corner of the shop, fuck yeah I'm grabbing that nearby torch and blasting the muthafucka.

They're good candidates for glass jar gladiator battles, too, if you catch a couple big bastids.

Hah, found one of these big bastards in the propane tank box for the fire pit in LFP.
Those things can move! Scared the bejezus out of my wife. She actually jumped and ran in one motion.

Umm. Audible scuttling?! wtaf?

The corollary to that is--don't worry about the bleeding unless you can hear it.

I’ve done that with a juvenile widow and wolf spiders. It was interesting to observe the widow bloat up over the course of the few weeks of feeding.

Just now outside my desk window. Sorry about the quality. Luckily downwind of the dog

Coatimundis are the Central American version of raccoons, but still cool to see in the "wild"of Tikal National Park

[old goat]

Is that a tail or is he glad to see you?

Does it work on charging Bison?

[bagtagley]

Vultures are moving in.

Are there lots of dead flies on the window sills in that house?

I've seen those in southern Arizona a few times. Came across a pack of close to 20 on Mt Lemmon one time, they all scattered except for this one and a couple babies. I'd never heard of them before, had no clue what it was til I got back to google.

So cool!
and I don't want to embarrass you here .....especially since Hutash is supposed to be Dr Doolittle, but I think those are called Monkey Raccoons

[hutash]

I never heard them called that, but probably a Wyoming term

Apparently the correct term is coati as coatimundi is a Brazilian term for a lone coati.

And when coatis move backwards they look like brontosaurus.

Gopro capture from today's ride. I didn't see it til I heard crashing brush and looked back

[Boissal]

^^^ bit close for comfort uh?
Probably good you didn't see it, if you're like me you'd have pulled an ill-conceived escape maneuver and ended up upside down in a tree, much closer to the bear and much less likely to successfully escape!

Chased on of these out of the house this morning.
Hummiingbird moth. First time I saw one I thought it was a real hummingbird.
