OH OP YOU F*CKER I went camping in the Painted Desert one time, on a road trip across the States. Woke up needing a pish, got out of the tent, strolled into the night under the stars...got back into the tent and thought I heard a noise, got the head torch out, at least eight of the beautiful bastards, I'd clearly almost stepped on two and looked an awful lot like I'd pished on one.
MFW I remembered I left the tent unzipped and couldn't now unzip it

Many of them literally have iron in their tail spikes! Just like komodo dragon teeth do!

We get these fuckers in our house. Our cats make a very different chittering noise when they see them.

I drew the duck blue because I never saw a blue duck before.

Wait, eight scorpions crawled into your tent in the time it took you to pee?

OH GOD NO dude I mean there were 8 outside, but I couldn't be SURE the tent was empty and couldn't really search either so.....a long night
