I am loading up for a short trip tomorrow, and found this guy "overseeing the operation" I might just take him fishing




I know, I know I need to wash my hands, but I was "working" ish.

That thing will BITE you!!!

That will catch you a bream and the bream will catch you a catfish!

... ...I'd like to see that bream! From a safe distance! .. ..

...and it will hurt like.....

When I was a kid, we were playing with crawfish we caught in the creek. I found a 3" grasshopper and put its head next to the crawfish's pincher. I thought that the crawfish would grab the grasshopper and clip it in half.

Not so much.

The grasshopper put its mouth over the tip of the crawfish's pincher and I heard a loud......CRUNCH!! The grasshopper's jaws were so powerful, it crunched through the pincher tip like it was a saltine cracker. The tip of the pincher was gone.

habanerojooz illustrates a good point. Herbivores can bite like a SOB!. After a particular experience on a high point with extreme prominence (thousands of feet) relative to the surrounding terrain regarding some apparently very angry migrating lady bugs I seem to have developed a bit of a phobia regarding lady bugs. If it eats plants for a living rule numero uno is watch out for its chompers!

Grasshoppers were my grandfathers favorite "perch" (bream) bait and we caught a ton of them using grasshoppers and worms dug in the calf pens.

damn...thesaurus time...

Let me translate....

That guy with the pepper on his picture knows his buisness. Them grass eaters can bite like a SOB! So there I was hangin off the edge of a cliff when I was attacked by Crapload of pissed off lady bugs. Never did get quite over that one!! Them grass eaters got some strong chompers!!

Thanks Pardner!...

damned fine job sir - thank you.

reminds me of the movie Airplane - "I'll handle this stewardess, I speak Jive..."

Im lost. Why were the ladybugs pissed off? I could see wasps or hornets, but ladybugs? Isn't that about the same thing as mad doodlebugs?

I haven't figured it out either. But this wasn't like a wasp or hornet's nest worth of insects. This was insects in the hundreds of thousands crammed into a tiny area. An area which I had to pass through.

"Chump don wan no help, chump don get no help."

We use that line at work all the time cheif. Great movie.

Maybe it was a breeding colony or ladybug orgy. Did you feel the need for a shower after the had their way with you?
