Dizzy Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I wonder what one looks like close up and whether they have teeth and googly eyes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 The apostrophe must have moved during transmission. However, back to the topic..........................when I go fishing, I have hundreds of those creepy, crawleys in my bait tin. It's a bit scarey!!!

Dizzy Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 PS luncheon meat for fishing from now on then Victor? One magot is scary enough so just imagine what damage a tin full could do to you Did anyone look at the other close up photo's? The bed bugs were really horrid and looked like they had little white t-shirts on. Equally horrid silverfish, flies and the thing that looked like it had two hands coming out of its mouth. Can't remember what it was but I'm not looking again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Victor... I found another one of a maggot for you Wingnut obviously hasn't have seen them yet unless he's lying low and quivering somewhere in his bivvy... he's into fishing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 and just for those who aren't into fishing.... A DUST MITE A FLOUR MITE MORE MITES A DOG FLEA A WASPS HEAD A HUMAN HEAD LOUSE AND EGG (NIT) and a really cute one... A GREENFLY (Aphid) eating a leaf and a HONEY BEE which is quite cute too post edited as that was clearly a caravan, a dog and a wolves flag flying high and not a honey bee (where's my bee gone then?) .... and Asp you posted after me so you either didn't really bother looking or you are just stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
