Or spend the night in the deep woods on an overcast night with no light. There are all kinds of things that glow in the dark, and some of them move. Can be an eye opener. The darker it is the better your night vision gets too...

Only eyes you need to seriously worry about in the dark up here are red or yellow.
Liberalism is a mental disorder that leads to social disease.

We should organize a float trip in the NW Arkansas area. I used to float a river(?) called Big Piney Creek up there that flowed through the Ozark National Forect.

We have no shortage of toothy critters in Minnesota. I've had bears in camp and been surrounded by howling wolves. BUT, the thing that always creeps me out is cutting through cornfields at night against the rows. Almost stepping on a skunk blows a heart valve, then a suddenly snarling raccoon ruptures a ventricle, then somethings big that jumps off the ground and crashes away blows the aorta. Oh yeah, the warm-up for all the above is breaking a few dozen spider webs with your face. If walking to or from a deer stand in the dark involves a shortcut through a cornfield I go the long way around.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

Where do we sign up? Have done the Illinois River in N. OK and many other smaller streams. Did part of the Brazos once up pretty high but that country is on fire right now...

And you would be wrong. I'll vouch for Pat and believe his motives are sincere. No BS. Now all you have to do is find someone to vouch for me. Bart should be along shortly...

I've never seen the tarantulas in Tx at night, but have seen 'em migrating across a FM (farm-to-market) road. On the main highway, not a one to be seen, but the FM was literally covered with 'em. Had to be a reason for both events, my guess would be mating season, and vibration (or lack thereof).
