Nope, Dub keeps his inards liquified in other ways!Did he bite you ? is that how he got the name
That would probably be a centipede...1/2 giant abdomen creepy shiny pincher thing
In the past few weeks on my trail runs I have seen a few rather large taranchulas
along with a lot of desert tourtoises...I generally just pick them up and move them off the trail so they don't meet there maker under the tires of a mtn bike.
They are much nicer than the usual that I run into on the trail...

holy crapola, I had to remove 2 tarantulas when Dave was gone from INSIDE the garage, some very large spider inside the living room, kind of hairy 8 legs....then the weird bug I described above had only 6 or maybe 8 legs. Dave chucked it way over the fence ....I should have taken a pic...cuz it's like nuttin' I've ever seen! I'm keepin' my windows up so these critters done get inside the cabin of the VX (probably a futile effort....) I can just see me gettin' in and taking off then finding a tarantula climbing around inside...OMG, please don't let that happen! I just don't like bugs & spiders.....call me a wuss but I just can't deal with them! Mice, rats, birds, no problem. Unidentifiable 6-8 legged critters.....PROBLEM!

You guys got them small green rattlers up there also...VERY venomous!
Taranchulas are pretty predictable. They tell you when not to mess with them...they rear back and show their fangs. If you move slow around them they will walk right up your hand and tickle you with all that hair!

Just remembered a water-bug related incident from my "mis-spent yoot"
(Judge Munster: "A what? What's a yoot?")
Twas in about junior high I suppose...the neighborhood girls were having a "sleepover" in the neighbor's pop-up camper. The bored neighborhood boys were hanging out on the street nearby.
All the girls went into the house for cookies or something...right about the time a huge water bug (much bigger than the one you caught Larry) started circling the streetlight we were under. It fell to the ground, and, well, we tossed the water bug into the camper.
Not much later the girls all came out and piled back into the camper. We didn't have to wait too long for the gratifying screams to begin...
The sleepover was held indoors that night.

Still fun as an adult, but boggles the imagination...

I remember in my mis-spent yoot settin and watchin Tumble Bugs (in Okla.) for hours..For those that don't know, a tumble bug is a bug that takes pieces of fresh cow dung and makes a ball (about the size of a quarter) out of it . Then it pushes its prize back to its hole to feed its young. so ya sit the watchin this bug push a ball of sh.t along...of course the ground is not level so as it pushes it up little hills it starts to get away from him on the downhill side, so he grabs hold and the bug and ball of sh.t tumble over and over. Hence "tumble bug". it's very funny to see. I learned some of life's greatest lessons from watchin them. 1. To some it's sh.t, to others it's a prize 2. Hang on to your sh.t 3. Sometimes ya havta work a sh.tty job to keep your family fed. Well thanks for listning.
So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
and this voice came back and said..
"He's not in, may we take a message?"
