Images from my nightmares

[icepixie]

1. This has not been Photoshopped.

Yes, it is a giant crab. A CRAB AS BIG AS THE TRASH CAN IT'S CLINGING TO. A LAND-CRAB.

2. Not a perspective trick.

Yes, the sea worm is four feet long. It digested hooks they tried to catch it with.

3. Giant Water Bug, via Wikipedia.

GAH.

Sweet dreams, everyone.

If I had nightmares these would so feature in them.

*terrified for lifehopefully just this evening*

That crab probably the most startling of the three images. The sea worm was...horrible, but not all that awful by the standards of sea creaturs, which are horrible by nature.

If you haven't read Pilgrim At Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard, you ought to, just for her description of watching a giant water bug eat a frog and the leave behind its empty skin.

'We also discovered that he is covered with thousands of bristles which are capable of inflicting a sting resulting in permanent numbness.'

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHO AT YOUR AQUARIUM NOW HAS PERMANENT NUMBNESS????

AND WHY WOULD YOU NAME IT 'BARRY'????!

Thank you for describing what was behind the links. I'm a compulsive link-clicker unless I have certain knowledge that whatever I'll see will give me nightmares. Those things certainly qualify.

That crab is so cool! It looks like a weird cross between a crab and a lobster to me, though. Where'd you find the picture?

So the crab is hella cool.
The bug gross.
but the worm....
the worm is so freaking gross and scary. Yuck.

The hell? Would The Doctor be back to fight them?!

Where abouts in the world is the crab found? Remind me never to go there!!

*shudders* I dislike non-mammalian sea creatures, unless they're edible, tasty, already dead, and on my plate with lemon & drawn butter. Ugh!
