First kill of the season.

Out here in So Cal when we had the nasty fires, it brought out the worst as far as creatures are concerned. we had Snakes, Coyotes and even Mountain lions were spotted in my area. we have at least several maulings a years by Mountains lions. this happens often when people get the urge to go for a run or hike in the valleys??
I lived in Arizona for a while and we had an episode with scorpions. we had an apartment in Tempe where the city workers were digging up the roads and they came in and decided to nest in our place. we were told to use a blacklight to find them and when we did, holy cow, there must have been close to 60 in our place alone. they were everywhere!!! in our bed, our closets, shoes, bathroom and kitchen. I don't know how we never got stung and I kept those things in a jar outside. there were even big scorpions with little babys on thier backs. I had an Indian buddy who came over for a couple of beers and when he saw the jar, he pulled the biggest one out and let him sting his hand about a half a dozen times. nothing happen to him at all, crazy bastard.
 
I would rather put up with big animals that could rip my head off than little multy or no legged creatures.

*shutter*
 
So as I'm walking to class today, I feel something pinch my tongue, then the roof of my mouth, I spit into my hand, and oh my, somehow a spider had gotten into my mouth.

I don't know what kind of spider it was, but it was small and black/brown. I flipped out as soon as I realised what happened, and then I started to suck my mouth as much as I could to remove any and all venom that was injected. Last I knew, I was in the hallway spitting for about 3 minutes.

My tongue right now has a little sore on the side, the roof of my mouth is fine though.

I think finding a spider in my mouth would traumatize me. My mum told me about a little kid who came into the hospital complaining of an ear ache. They found two spiders in his ear that had been biting him. Nasty little buggers.
 
Well the end of winter means that it is heating up outside, and heat means scorpions are looking for a cool place to live. So why not in my house?

I smashed this little bugger the other day, and ran into another one this evening. What kind of crazy critters live in your area?
