Thank you, and I do the same for insects and spiders as well. Though even wasps usually get taken out. I've found that with practice one can carefully grab them by the wings and carry them out a door. The one thing I can't handle having around are the Black Widows. I have a Praying Mantis next to me, that will be freed soon, but I enjoy watching them, and practice a little Praying Mantis Kung Fu myself...

That is an interesting story, he's lucky the dog growled first. Had it simply charged him he may have ended up in worse shape. Considering it took the first blow from the shotgun, it wasn't going to go down with anything less. I have to wonder, was he between the dog and the owners?
