We get a few of them (lot's in some places) here but that one looks a fair bit bigger than our ones, nice of you to give him (or her) a free trip to Maine [

That is a good looking ink it's sitting on there.

Well, thank goodness I don't unearth such beastly creatures here in Oz, I saw a snake skin today and the scales were huge (King Brown I'd say) so I was very careful. When you are wearing headphones you tend to see before you hear[8|].
Norm, I can't wait to see a pick of one with wings. Hmm! you didn't send a box of black flies, did you?[] lol.
For everybody else: Norm has sent a package to me with unknown contents, can't wait to see what is in it[:-].

What exactly are these black flies like? They bite or just swarm you without end? We have mosquitoes here that do both -- and two years back we had a dengue outbreak which greatly limited the places I was willing to go dig -- but at least the 100 percent Deet works on them, which I heard it doesn't with the flies.
We don't have snakes either -- at least we're not supposed to -- but we do have centipedes, and quite a bit of them when I dig the types of mountain dumps I usually do. Can usually count on having to try to catch about five or six of them during a reg. dig and throwing them as far as possible with the shovel. A digger friend I met over the Net -- some of you may know him from Scott's Privy Page, a great site -- came to vacation and dig over on Kauai a couple years back, and though he has to deal with snakes at home in Michigan, I couldn't tell him enough to come anywhere near easing his mind about the 'pedes. I do hate them too.

This scorpion's bark is worse then his bite, lol it is only like a bee sting. From what I saw of the behavior in the wild they would rather run away... The problem is they come in the house and hide in dark places like shoes or slippers! Ahhhhh thats when they get ya! Happy digg'n Taz
