African quick and Nasty CWEATURES No.4

We have just had a visit from our  Missionary Friend from Faranah Guinea. She teaches Missionary children for Bible Translators. Well she showed me this humongous Scorpion from Guinea. These nasties inject enough poison to kill a young child. She said she was bitten by a small scorpion on the foot. It was like being hit with a cattle prod. Then poison travelled to her groin then to her throat and she found it hard to breathe. Some time elapsed before the Poison dispersed and she felt well again. have you been bitten then you will understand that these are little nasty cweatures.

Then we have "Fire" the guard with an amazing 23 cms Snail the likes of which I have never seen myself. This equals the Guiness Book of Records. How would you like this big little critter munching on you lettuce in the veggie Garden.
