Sheep Audioholic Warlord May 19, 2005 9,781 0 113 39 Vancouver, BC Oct 10, 2006 #17 That has to be the pimpest looking moth I have ever seen. In the third link, when its showing off is dark spots, it looks like a snake (trick they do to scare away Clint). Funny you mention hitting a windshield, coming back from a camping trip this summer, a bird flew right under the windshield wiper and wedged itself in opn my friends car (doing 120KPH). Everyone's jaw hit the floor as we looked at it, wondering if the wind would free it. My friend had to turn on the wipers and we all felt so awful afterwards. Civic - 1 Bird - 0. SheepStar

hemiram Senior Audioholic Jun 26, 2006 500 0 28 Toledo, ohio Oct 13, 2006 #19 I would take a mini-mothra over these things anytime, they are all over the area, and one of them was in my hair one night, and I about killed myself flailing around when I woke up with it on my forehead: http://images.google.com/imgres?img...+web+spiders%22&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all A mini-mothra would last about 5 seconds. My dogs would hunt it down, and try to eat it. Yuck... The nursery web spiders seem to freak them out, they do a lot of dancing around before finally stomping it to death by rearing up like a horse and banging their front feet on them.
