Shh Water Spider Is Sleeping

Shh!
The water spider is sleeping.

She stared at the raised clear bubble on her friend’s wrist
Then she ran away screaming.

Using the diving bell technique is brilliant. I believe there are several beetles that do this as well Caren.

I do not like to think of them "under the skin" and yet, I believe it can be done.

All is well. About forty years ago I had a bubble of a spider bite on my wrist. Although there was no spider in there, there is STILL a scar from it.

Spiders do not bother me as much now that I have fallen in love with their webs in rain.
