    Haha it is pretty cute^
    It was a hyper little thing though, it wouldn't stay still for more than 4 seconds. Luckily it was a slow runner

    Don't mess with those little guys either...although not particularly aggressive to humans, they will sink that proboscis in you if you agitate them too much and oh boy! Talk about hurt!

    Don't ask me how I know this....

    I really wanted to pick it up after a while because it seemed so friendly! But after looking them up and hearing that^ I'm glad I didn't..
    They aren't called 'assassins' for no reason!

    The only thing worse than making smart ass remarks on internet forums is complaining about the people who do.

    That's the rarely seen death stick. Also knows as the psybornassininecraptulamaker. If you didn't kill it on sight, I feel bad for you. You better move soon.
    -Art is subjective. I do it for me. Therefore, your opinion is not of concern.

    Canon shooter - Life is short. Buy good glass.
