This is the sort of thing that puts me off going to one of those arachnophobia therapies. I'm sure if I had a spider in my hand it would sense my fear and scurry up my arm and onto my face.

I am a bit of a wuss with heights. Decided to confront it - and once tried to do a bungee jump, got strapped up, went to the edge of the drop, looked down...and promptly bottled it.
Few years later, I tried again and managed to do one tbf. Much smaller jump (40m v 111m) but I did it.

Didn't work, am still scared of heights.
Well at least you had the balls to try! I've been mulling over the spider therapy thing for years and just can't bring myself to do it. Don't mind the small ones but can't stomach the bulky ones. If I see one of them crawling about then I have to pretty much drop everything to hunt it down or I'm not sleeping.

I mean seriously why, just why?

So that was the bungee I bottled it on and was about six months later. The lady landed in a croc infested river and her legs were bungeed/tied together.
She managed to get to the river bank to tell the story.

Sure that is not a camera trick? There's probably a safe landing just out of shot.
It is a camera trick, you can see from the way her hair and his T-shirt hang that they have just tilted the camera and that he is actually stood upright and is supporting her weight.

They generally head for the armpit, where they will set up a nest and lay their eggs.
Happy scratching!

I used to keep Mantids and a stick insects, fascinating creatures. I love em! If you going to put a bee on your tongue then you have got to be stupid. Condolences to the bee.

The venom (is it called venom in bees?) is still active even though the bee is dead isn't it? So he would have got away with it if he hadn't pricked himself on the sting. Don't wasps also have a delayed convulsions in their stinger even after they are dead too; not sure if bees ar ehte same. I don't really know much about bees, although I wouldn't be daft enough to try what he did!

Stick insects are amazing. My brother used to keep them when he was young.
They used to keep escaping and you'd see them on the ceiling, rocking back and forth. Some of them grew very big.
My late Mum got stung by a wasp lurking in a plum she ate & nearly died. She had an allergic reaction & her tongue swelled up, almost choking her. Luckily we were on the phone (many households weren't in the 1960s), our GP 4 miles away was in & at our house within 10 mins to give her an anti-histamine shot, having told her to suck ice cubes meanwhile.

I had a couple of stick insects too (11-12), but soon got bored of their lack of point and occasionally rocking, so let them loose on the ivy bush on our oil tank. As we lived up north their chances of survival were slim My kid sister had a terrapin, an equally useless pet that is probably still eating ducklings in the local stream.

. Well, not for them obviously.
