You know what’s kinda scary?  Tarantula hawks.  They’re beautiful and interesting to watch and will completely leave you alone if you leave them alone, but they’re also big and rank really high on the Schmidt Sting Pain Index.  Know what’s even scarier?  Finding this on your kitchen counter one morning when you’re on your way to make a much needed caffeinated beverage:

Dead tarantula hawk

Dead tarantula hawks in the house mean that live tarantula hawks were flying around inside your house at one point.  *Shudder*
