      That is only a 1/4 of them. Only problem is they grow and if you are unlucky like me you get bitten and that is a bad place to go. If lucky a small sting if not you could lose a limb or your life, when I got bitten my arm swelled to 4 times the size and that and the pain lasted for months. Posted 11 years ago
