Nope, no reaction...I just felt a velcro "zip" as I let go of the rock and I knew what it was lol... It's funny because I've touched bristleworms before and never had any spines embed (imbed? spelling??) I don't think Most BWs hurt you

Didn't even hurt but I was worried they would work their way in so I used the tape rather than mess around with tweezers...



and to the giggler: yeah, I laughed too

It probably hurts the bristle worm more than you.

Ha...ha..I'm thinking that you are lucky that you can even see them. Everytime I get one stuck in my hand, it is so small I have to find it with my microscope in order to pull it out. Drives me crazy.

lol niiiice. for the record, you can alleviate the sting with vinegar and/or ot water. You probably would have felt it more if it had stuck you in a more sensitive area like between the fingers or something.

btw that is a sweet pic. you should enter it in this months photo contest (macro themed)
