Land lobsters from hell are emerging in Big Bend after summer rains
Rain doesn't just bring floods and flowers. It apparently also awakens creatures that appear to come from the depths of hell.
Big Bend National Park in Texas shared a photo this week of a visitor near a campsite: A vinegaroon, a sort of ungodly land lobster that can shoot acid from its tail.
And, apparently, this vinegaroon is on the hunt for "food and love." Aren't we all?
Vinegaroons are also known as "whip scorpions" and hunt other insects for food. They can also shoot a "well-aimed" spray of 85% acetic acid (or, vinegar, hence the name) from their tails as a defense mechanism. And if they weren't already terrifying enough, they also have large pincers.

Or something next to it so we could get an idea of the actual size of it.
A quite tiny frog sniffing my fingertips. The lobster is about four times longer than this frog.
catch a bunch in a jar and find out!
