I always kid about using a 12 ga. as a fly swatter but you can actually do it!

Nasty critter!!
Don't know about North Carolina, but here in Missouri the [prehistoric] bugs chase the bats.

Okay who counted the legs to see if it had 100?
Seriously, I am beginning to understand why ANZACs make such ferocious soldiers. After living with all the nasty critters nothing with just two legs can scare you, except maybe your women.

Big or is it a little kid with a hairy arm?
They are OK, at least you can see them coming.
And you would have to be doing something really stupid to get bit.
It's the nasties you don't see I hate, mainly ticks and leeches

Its a big one Tiks...in fact I've seen them bigger than that bugger mate. When in the Army, I was always wary of where I slept on the ground in the rain forest. Would use a hammock or "A frame" if possible...lots of biteys mate...ticks, leeches, spiders, centipedes, big nasty ants, snakes, bush rats...you name it mate...they were there.
Cheers, Vince
