Nice & horrible, just the way I like it. :)

For added fun, I had Pacific Rim's soundtrack "Physical Compatibility (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO6vJelKYT4)" playing for a good 49 seconds, making the video unexpectedly uplifting :P

That clip somehow became less and less creepy as it went along. But now we know why the Shivans were so interested in us. They didn't want to destroy Earth, they just wanted to rescue their cousins...

If you don't want to be corrected, then whatever you do, don't look at the thread title.

So, the Shivans were just mad at the cruel humiliation of their little cousins' scouts that were sent to Earth?

Those guys seem pretty good natured considering they were just grabbed out of their normal environment by giants.  Most bugs I've seen would be biting like mad or at least scrambling to try to get away!

You ARE aware that most people's posts include a subject line, right? And that subject line, by default, is "Re: [original subject here]"? And that your post about Australia has a subject line that mentions the Amazon? Cuz, y'know, just checking. :p

"Tail-less whip scorpion"?

Sounds a lot like the vinegaroons (whip-tailed scorpion) we have around the American southwest. About the ugliest creatures in existence, but pretty much harmless.

Vinegaroons don't have long legs like that, though.

Maybe he thought it's about the other Amazon? It was actually the first thing I thought about when I saw the thread title. :) I guess I spend too much time on the internet...

The "Tail-less Whip Scorpion" belongs to the order of arachnids known as Amblypygi, while Vinegaroons belong to the order Thelyphonida. They share many aspects but the main difference between the two is that Thelyphonids have a body that looks like a scorpion without the bulky tail, while Amblypygids look more like spiders.

One of those cases where things look similar but are in fact only kind of related.
