- Go to I learned early to love and respect all creatures great and small.
You wouldn't think that a tiny octopus would be so lethal! I also saw a baby octopus in Mexico once. A young man found it and showed it to us. I don't know if it was poisonous or not. In Korea they eat them, sometimes when they are still alive - disgusting!

I too, learned at an early age to respect all creatures great and small. Some of the most beautiful creatures in the world are the deadliest of all. A lesson we all need reminding of now and again.
Vyktor will return soon. I love you.

Oh yeah, a lot of people do not know how dangerous an octopus is! You have stated that quite well...As always I appreciate your love of nature.

Kabu some things just don't want to be loved, but usually they respond instinctively to protect themselves, mind I wouldn't trust a crocodile. Look at a poor old bee it stings and half its stomach is destroyed. Wouldn't want to sting very often if I was a bee, would you?

Wow, Kabu!
More and more every day, I feel that there must be Guardian Angels afoot. Thank goodness your children have such sweet dispositions!
Last summer my son and I found a wind scorpion in our garage. There are icky critters everywhere one goes it seems. I thought these only lived in the desert, and we're in the mountains of Montana, although technically this is considered "high desert". Sort of.

I have a tendency to let spiders alone. Watch 'em, yes.
Most of them are harmless enough, and I like their industry, their craft. But wasps? They build nests in inconvenient places, like inside the loops of the hanging garden hose -- I keep the squirt can handy and have taken one out in mid-air a time or two. I'd have let my kids play with the little octopus -- this is the first time I heard they could be poisonous.

I don't think I've ever seen an earwig. Now that I've googled them and looked at pictures of them, I hope to never see one. Those pinchers look quite deadly, or at least torturous.
