Reminds me of a time I had with a spider. It was a good
sized wolf spider or similiar arachnid that had a hole in
the prairie dirt. I looked into the hole and the spider
jumped out at me so I instinctively backed up and the darn
spided ran at me. I surprisedly backed up some more and the
spider matched my backing up. I then realized this was a
small bug and could be mooshed if I so chose so I tried an
experiment. I jumped foward and the spider jumped backwards.
This went on for a few minutes and was quite fun. I had
other stuff to do so I had to stop but as I turned and was
walking away the darn thing came after me again. The
distances covered were around 20 to 30 feet or so.
