Look I am not generally scared of things but sometimes nature has other plans and it makes my neighbors question my sanity.
It's been a couple years since I've really gardened and I decided this year, it's happening!
I'm used to creatures. I'm used to bugs. I'm used to pollen.
At a distance!
When I am pulling weeds for a while I tend to sit down instead of kneeling. I also usually wear pants and long sleeves. This is important.
As I was tirelessly clearing the garden I saw movement out the corner of my eye. I looked down and froze in horror. I had MULTIPLE garden beetles crawling on my arms and legs. I tried swiping and shaking my arm but they wouldn't budge. They were crawling higher.
Queue panic!!! I started frantically trying to get them off, saying "No no no, get off get off get off!!!". One made it to by bicep and I freaked out jumping up and shaking all my limbs saying "get off get off get off!!!!"
I finally started flicking at them, manically laughing, as they came free. After I was certain all were off of me I heard "Hey dere girl, you good?"
My neighbor and his nephew...SAW THE WHOLE THING.
One of these days one of my neighbors is going to film my antics.
