"It was the best of threads, it was the worst of threads..."
OK - the tail end of that bunny mid-hop is one of the cutest things I have ever seen. Not to mention the 60's bunny.
On the other hand - There is not an "eek" emoticon big enough to convey how creeped out I am by those the camel spiders.
I keep thinking: OK that's it for me on this thread - no more huge furry spiders. Then I get suckered back in by the bunnies, only to be blindsided by the HUGE SCREAMING spiders that CHASE you. Why do I keep coming back? No one's forcing me to look at this thread. It's like I've signed myself up for some sort of weird psych experiment.How much can I take?

AAGH! Finally got around to reading this thread. AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
And to think I get mildly creeped out by the very small spiders that tend to swarm over our back patio, Harry Potter in the Forbidden Forest-like. And the single largish spider that I shook out of a curtain once that went audibly THUMP on the floor and scuttled away alarmingly fast. We don't have ANYTHING remotely as creepy as the bugs y'all have posted. One mildly poisonous snake, that's all, otherwise it's large furry non-creepy mammals out there.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

OMG, I knew I should not have come here. I don't mind spiders so much, but all the other creepy crawlies freak me out. I ecspecially cannot stand june bugs and crickets and things that jump at you are fly into your head. I know they don't bite, but the feel of them on my skin or in my hair just gives me the hebee jebees. My skin is now crawling.

That sensation is called "formication". I am not kidding.
