On another note has anyone seen a Red Velvet Ant before? I want to know what they are really called etc. They are red and black and pretty large, and have a long stinger in the back.

You guys would have to know that guy and his brother to understand the humor in the Ebay ad.. I'm pretty sure he wasn't freaking out, he's having fun with it because he had no idea what kinda bug it was

yeah I figured he was too, his writing of the "trying to survive the attack" more or less gives you the idea, still funny.

I was thinking, well there are bug collectors worldwide, bet if you searched Ebay you'd find the serious collections not euphanized by Acetone (discolors the bug) and they probably seriously sell bugs to collectors worldwide.

Anyone ever seen those bugs that make snapping sounds? is this the bug?....it looks similar and when you pick em up they make a popping sound from a weird movement that they do(i guess)

my dad use to call em cop-cops(no idea where the name comes from)
