Do they just poke? ...or more than that?
huh? they actually sting you? or is it more like turantula hairs
i'd eat it for 20 bucks!
Last year I was pulling some weeds in one of the perennial beds & felt like I got hit with a strong sting from nettles. I'd planted some nettles in a pot several years ago as a lep foodplant so that wasn't a shock - however, I thought they had all died out. Looking around I couldn't find any nettles so I left to nurse my wounds... Next day I was back in the same spot & got hit again. This time I knew I wasn't mistaken & something had nailed me. After a search, I finally found one of these guys. Once I knew what I was looking for, I found several more .... Incredible looking but those spikes are definitely more than 'show'!.... but you just have to be ready for the consequences if you make a mistake. I knew what I was getting into, hurts like Hades if they catch you with one of the spines on the projections ...
