    So apparently there is a syndicated story going around about "acid squirting land lobsters from hell" and... it's a completely HARMLESS vinegaroon. Here's one we have in the bug zoo. (1/2)pic.twitter.com/huTXIlTsMF

        They are delightful, shy predators native to American deserts. They can squirt a tiny amount of vinegar. They have no venom. And I'm trying really hard not to go off here, but I'm just livid about this fear-mongering 🤬🤬https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelyphonida …

        as a journalist, it annoys me to no end how it's acceptable to promote stigma against arthropods. from 'murder' hornets to 'disgusting' cicadas ... it's so sloppy and lazy and unscientific

        Found this marvelous bagworm crawling up my porch chair yesterday. I have never seen one using my fir tree to decorate its case. Googling for more information, I was sad that half of the first page results were for pest control companies telling you all the ways to kill them.pic.twitter.com/7jaPH1r0G5

        But, great if you want a lobster vinaigrette for your fancy salad?

        On a side note, I think @ratemyskyperoom needs to give this a solid 10/10.

        Fallout 4 is based on reality. I'm sure of it.
