Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I didn't realise they bite! Though I guess it makes sense.

I just did a search and apparently they bite but it's rare because they have big eyes and can clearly see you aren't prey. Well, maybe you look like prey?

I didn’t know they would do that either, it wasn’t that I felt it happening at the time, only afterwards.

Was it clearly a bite? It's not from their scratchy legs or something?

[–] Floofah@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think you’re right, the marks are like tiny pin pricks, and given it was on my arm for a while, I ended up with lots of them. Good observation, thanks.

Not that it changes anything 😆, you've still got sore marks on your arm.

Still very sore this am, put antiseptic cream on before bed as well. It’ll be OK, know to put the little fellow on a plant if it happens again ¯_(ツ)_/¯
