Illinois has some HUGE bugs!

I thought this guy was going to eat me!

I've never seen anything like this thing before in my life, and he stood between me and my babies. I was SO brave. I dashed bast him like a bat out H*** to rescue them. I seriously thought I was going to die!

**If you must know, I've never been stung by a bee so anything that remotely resembles one absolutely TERRIFIES me. So, when something that makes a bee look like a knat shows up, you can only imagine how I might feel about that. AHHHHH!!!
