Oooooh. Now there are nasty little buggars. With work we often have to fish 
them out of pitfall traps. A lot of the time you can't even see them. Some can 
be tiny. And, apparently, they pack a real punch. It's for this reason that I 
always wear gloves when doing this. Some fellow workers don't. They don't seem 
to be concerned in the least.
