PICTURE POST!

The eggs on that tree hatched last weekend. I thought they were spiders when I first saw them, but they only have six legs. I haven't yet figured out what they are...

Spoiler: Big pic of a swarm of baby insects

EDIT:
Sorry for the stretch. I put it behind spoiler tags. Also for those who might be squeamish about lots of little creepy-crawlies.

 

[RoJoHen]

These pictures are freaking me out.

I think they might be Wheel Bugs. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/two-assasin-wheel-bug-larvae-george-grall.html

Your photo isn't showing up. You might wanna check your format settings.

 

[RoJoHen]

I see it just fine.

 

[cooleddie74]

Okay, now it's showing up. It's okay now.

Could be wheel bugs. I don't think I've ever seen insect hatchlings that look like that. Hmmmm. Curious. I used to be into bugs and spiders as a kid but I can't nail those down.

The .jpg link was an 'https' from my Facebook. I went to delete the 's' to make it more likely to display, and accidentally deleted the 'p' instead on the first try. Fixed now.

That's it, RoJoHen, thanks! The wiki page has a pic toward the bottom that looks just like them and their eggs.

 

[cooleddie74]

Yeah, I just Googled some info on Wheel bugs. That's what they are!

Angelina's boobies aren't that impressive. Definitely not impressive enough to make me want to watch a film.

I'd have to agree. For someone who claims to be a D, they're too saggy to get excited over. *shrugs*

 

[cooleddie74]

Angelina Jolie. She's a decent-enough actress, but I just don't get all the drooling and brainwashing about her looks and sexiness. She's attractive, but not so much that I have to see her on a constant basis. And her relationship with Billy Bob Thornton really gave her a creepy vibe what with the shared vials of one another's blood that they wore as jewelry.

Good actress. A pretty woman. Vastly, vastly overrated.

 

[sojourner]

Dude, Hackers is awesome!

Angelina's boobies + Fisher Stevens as evil mastermind and Pen Jillette as his fat, half-witted henchmen = instant win.

It even has Lorraine Bracco when she was just the chick with the obnoxious voice.

How is that not awesome?

OK, plus 10 for all that. Minus 10 for using Apples to hack.

A cheesy bad film.

Yup, highly overrated in every aspect. She's pretty, I guess? She's an okay actress, and I'm severely annoyed to have to see her face on the cover of all those stupid magazines. Honestly, I wish she would go away.

I loved her in Girl, Interrupted... but in everything else I've seen her in, she was nothing special.

 

[cooleddie74]

Agreed on GIRL, INTERRUPTED. Easily her best movie, followed by CHANGELING.

I love video games as much as the next red-blooded American male, but I just don't get the appeal of the TOMB RAIDER films. They were awful.

 

[GemHaters]

I own and very much like Girl, Interrupted, and Taking Lives is pretty good, but that's about it.

 

[Lumi]

My boyfriend has a massive obsession with anything Tomb Raider, including the films. *shrugs* I thought the first one was... okay. Didn't bother watching the second.

 

[M'Sharak]

And MANTIS! At least it looks mantis-like. I've never seen one like this before. I almost put my hand on it, it was so well disguised. Can any of the mantisphiles around here identify it?

I think your mantis may be the same as the one pictured several times near the top of this page. Says they're not uncommon in Central and North-Central Florida.

Last year's Zombie Walk ....again.

For the last little while I'm getting really excited about it this year. I know it's a ways away but my makeup is going to be absolutely perfect this time! Planning it and the costume already.

My friend was more like a ghost than a zombie... but still looked awesome.

Awesome while we're on that theme, did some messing in GIMP yesterday, took me about 5-10 minutes.
