Did you have any ill effects from the bite? I've read they are mildly venomous.

Thanks, Terry. We do have some wonderful species here. Looking for them is the tough part though.

Not all. Those profile/head shots were taken with a 60mm macro.

Totally no effect. But they need to chew on for a while to inject the venom because they are rear fanged. Most times, I couldn't even tell where the bite was.
