Critters Not Paying Rent at Riverbanks Zoo
I think this is the last of them. Enjoy!
![Point Caterpillar I just happened to see this not-so-cute caterpillar hiding underneath a leaf as Phil and I walked around the zoo. If I was a bird, I would not want to eat this critter.](http://www.mysteriousandmisplaced.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_2999-320x240.jpg)

![Bee's Lunch One day, I am going to attempt to take a picture of a bee, get to close to it, piss it off, and get stung. Last time I checked, I am allegric to wasps. Don't want to find out if the same holds true for other winged critters with a stinger.](http://www.mysteriousandmisplaced.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_3002-320x240.jpg)

![Writing Spider I found this guy in the Botanical Garden section of the zoo. I love spiders, I do, but man, getting close enough to take a picture of one freaks me out. Why couldn't God make spiders cute?](http://www.mysteriousandmisplaced.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/img_3019-320x240.jpg)

That’s a seriously scary looking spiders. I really really hate spiders. They creep the crap out of me. Just bad experience with them. BAD!

He looks scarier than his bite I’m sure. If he wasn’t so big, I wouldn’t have been so scared of taking the picture. I don’t mind the little ones. The little ones are sorta cute. 🙂

This is one you NEVER get near.

I’m gonna compile a list of all the blog entries you’ve posted where Phil almost dies on your behalf.

Hey there! You just registered the postcard I sent you on Postcrossing! I found your blog by following the link in your comment. Your pictures area AMAZING! What kind of camera are you using?

(PS – I did NOT see Arnold today in Sacramento…sigh…ok, I don’t really care if I ever see him but I agree with you…it’s funny to have him as our governor!)

Hey Malea! Thanks for visiting,and thanks for your complement about my pictures. My camera is a Canon PowerShot S5IS. It is much cheaper now than when I bought it. It has been pretty good to me. I particularly like that my video is nearly DVD quality – although you can’t tell that on my blog because You Tube compresses it a whole lot. Hope you keep coming back.
