No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

I recall seeing a 'jungle' video a few years back, where the natives caught and roasted those critters on a fire, broke 'em open and ate the meat, saying they were somewhat like crab... :shrug:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

On our last well the rig hands thought it would be fun to catch a tarantula.  They put it in a box and fed it crickets...lol.  Since I was in the doghouse with them I walked over and taped the box shut, as I didn't want the thing to escape.  It wasn't as big as the one in your picture but about the size of a tennis ball and was black.

Tarantulas are why we train our young Scouts to zip up their tents when camping in the desert...I watched one casually walk over my foot by the campfire.

Bats are also a bit of a pest.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16

I hear scorpions light up a pretty neat blue under a black light, too.

In Arizona, scorpions are like roaches. They are everywhere. They do glow under fluorescent/black light. They really light up like neon. While in Sedona, happened to see a tarantula migration or mating or something. There were hundreds of them in a herd crossing the road in the moonlight.

So an evening under the glow of a blue bug zapper light is replaced by black light and a BB gun?

I could go for that, so long as the beer is still cold.  happy77 :beer:

That could be fun with a pellet pistol and glow at night sights...

I'd bet the stingers would still be active for a while after the critter gets it, though (forget wandering barefoot).

Maybe. But the common scorpion is small and light colored. They are not like the scorpions you see on TV. Most of them are about an inch and a half. Could be a hard shot with a BB gun. Yea, but with the right booze it would be alright.
