And here we see the Shipper Mantis bringing its OTP close together against their will. Notice the paleness of the Mantis, caused by a lack of sunlight, and the terrifingly strong grip it has on the characters. These guys don’t stand a chance. They’ll be forced to kiss over and over again in the hands of their deranged captor.
whoa. that’s a bit too big a prey for you.
not always!
welp
I stand corrected. @_@

You are one very lucky woman…
So this lady picks up a Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla occidentalis), which packs a very serious and painful sting! Luckily, it was in a good mood, and didn’t give her what-for. It may look like an ant, but its actually a kind of wasp. The more commonly encountered females are wingless. This species is common through much of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Yep, i did this too. Luckily i wasn’t stung either. My reckless tendency to touch everything. heh
Oh man, who WOULDN’T pick this bugger up though?! Look at the cute fuzz and that lovely coloring. I wish they came in cat-size as pets. So adorable.

Carnivorous caterpillar of the moth Eupithecia orichloris (only common name I can find is “Measuring Worm”) native to Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Lanai and the big island of Hawaii.
They hunt for prey by disguising themselves as twigs and waiting for insects to trigger sensitive hairs on their backs which prompts them to swing around and grab their prey.
Forget spiders, millipedes, ticks. These guys win the ‘most terrifying bugger on Earth’ award.
Something about it just looks wrong.
(still a pretty awesome monster though, damn)
