KiNgBrAdLeY7: Also when i was handling one it initially got annoyed and bite me, but his teeth weren't of such a structure to open wound.
Maybe he just kissed your hand; must have been something with the KiNg part of yours... (btw, how exactly are you sure the bat was a he and not a she? Did you lift/ set aside the fur and checked?)

tinyE: Spiders hiss? XD
Looks like she wondered the same thing. Turns out she was more ... curious(ssss) than you... :P

Vythonaut: So, you live near enough a big city to enjoy it's advantages but far enough from it to not be burdened by it's disadvantages. Nice! Send my regards to mr Dracula, should he visit you again to hang a while from the curtains. :P

KiNgBrAdLeY7: Exactly. I don't use the nick "King" for nothing! I enjoy the most out of both "worlds" while avoiding both of their negative sides! But those bats aren't "vampire-bats", like the Mexican species; they are insect and small fruit eaters. Also when i was handling one it initially got annoyed and bite me, but his teeth weren't of such a structure to open wound.
Never seen a spider with a set of choppers,fangs yes.

Oh no, not a Spiderman reference!

Of course not, yes, we end up with a bunch of over-sized insect movies that would either be ameliorated by gargantuan frogs or an industrial strength can of raid.

Radioactive Zombies on the other hand....

What superhero do we get when they're bitten by a radioactive zombie?

No, not a Spiderman reference -- just the '50s penchant for giant radioactive creatures. I had "Tarantula" in mind when I wrote that, but there was no radioactive element in that particular movie.

Now, if you get an ant in your bath... watch "THEM!" so as to be fully prepared for any possible emergency! :-P

OK, I might be wrong here, but I believe that people protected themselves from ants by placing the legs of their beds in pans of water so they wouldn't cross and climb onto and into the beds.

I still have yet to see an ant that wants to go swimming....

From everything I've read, and seen about ant behavior, they will go out of their way to avoid crossing over water. People have put pet food in pans of water and the legs of beds in water to keep the ants from getting into them.

I imagine people sailing on the ocean don't have an ant problem unless they had one before they left port.

...and yes, defend our beds! (Nobody wants an ant crawling into their ear while they're sleeping.)

"we shall squash them on the edges of the pans,
we shall drown them in the pans,
we shall squash them on the bed legs,
we shall squash them in the pillows;
we shall never surrender!" :-P

Funny, but in all seriousness, I wouldn't want to be wake to this.

Nope, neither would I, but it kind of looks "out-of-doorsy" and the bed's non-existant, so, unless the ants have got a real grudge against me, I guess I'm safe. :-P

I think I hear them chanting, "all our farms are belong to us".

NovHak: Are you sure of this ? (not for the faint of heart)
Well I sure as hell wouldn't rescue THAT from my bath.
