Nature's little devils

Apart from having the oddest picture of a honeybee that looks like a flea, there's a great section in yesterday's Charlotte Observer to scare your kids with. It gives a “short course” in twelve insects that can harm you — the honeybee, paper wasp, black recluse spider, fire ant, bumble bee, yellow jacket wasp, chigger, black widow spider, Asian tiger mosquito, southern house mosquito, flea and tick. Go on, I dare you to go outside.
