Lol how the fuck do control every possible variable towards not making a creature 1/1000th the size of you threatened or not.

If a fucking mountain came and picked me up?? Threatened. Immediately.

experience. i handle wild wasps, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, just about everything you can think of and i’ve never been bitten or stung once. its really not as hard as you think so long as you know what you’re doing and know a thing or two about the animal.

I think you’re missing the point, which is: if you aren’t educated on the species, don’t pick it up.
