That everything in Texas stick, stings or bites...it's not necessarily true but I did manage this past week to capture some photos of a few critters that can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort...
Centruroides Scorpion...They sting and it hurts like a son of gun but it's not poisonous!
Black Widow spiderThe females venom is extremely poisonous to people. It often attempts to escape rather than bite unless she is guarding an egg sack.
Christmas cactus also known as Pencil Cactus...definitely has spines and not something I would touch!!
Red harvester ants...I haven't been stung by one yet but I'm told it packs a wallop and a lot worse than a fire ant!!

I did fairly well on finding these critters and was very careful while photographing them...I hope you enjoyed learning about a few of our critters that can stick, sting or bite!

Great pictures! I haven't seen a scorpion yet...here's hoping I manage to avoid it a little longer!
Thanks for participating in the Texas Photo Round-up.
Scary... I'm so happy to live in a country where nothing sting and is poisonous!! You can lay down and take photos of whatever you want here, no scorpion, no snake, no venomous spider!!
But at least you got nice pictures of these crazy creatures ;-)
OUCH that's all I gotta say about THAT!! Great Photos though as always!!
Wow I don't think I would want to be getting that close to those nasty little critters! Awesome photos as usual Wendy!
