Unexpected guests

He better watch out for your other reptile friends!

There are some pretty hungry looking birds hanging around too. And this guy is fairly big so it'll be good meal for someone.

Now's your chance to test out your new grill! Mmmmm.....crunchy!

Sorry, no chocolate to go with that grasshopper.

I'll play -



Sadly my little fuzzy friend did not know how to swim and ignored the first rule of pool safety - never swim alone! He was probably chasing after dinner and forgot to wait 30min after eating to swim

Yikes!!!

Better warn Watermom to avoid this thread!

Only an 1-1/2" from mandible to abdomen, so it's a juvenile. Adults are about twice that size. I had a 9" long dead millipede at the bottom of the pool last season. Those are way creepier in my opinion

Nice! We had one of those on our front door a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, it came to the same demise as the kids wouldn't step outside.

If we had those here I'd never stick my hand in the skimmer! Worst we get are wolf spiders.....with babies covering their backs.

Funny story....I was in the pool and saw a wolf spider walking on the water. I thought I'll smack it real hard to stunn it and throw it out. As soon as I did hundreds of babies scattered everywhere, including in me! Picture a 50+ year old man screaming like a little girl thrashing around in the pool!
