It's an orange reddish color and it looks like a wasp and a mosquito mix. Of course, it flies.

I have been finding poop or pellets of some kind scattered over my driveway and front porch. They measure everywhere between the size of a tootsie roll to the size of a pencil eraser (including the metal part). They are dry and very brittle and have very visible insect pieces in them, such as june bug wings. My first thought was that these were owl pellets, but there is no fur in them, and anyway, I've never seen or heard any owls around here. I also thought they might be from bats, although I find a lot of these "things" under my porch overhang, and I've never seen any bats flying around. We have a lot of toads around, and although a lot of the pieces are too big to be toad turds, I thought that maybe they are something that toads regurgitate. Do toads do that? If it's not from toads, do you have any idea what it might be?

Some poultry farmers believe that feeding antibiotics to poultry will help fatten the birds, is it true?
Are there any hazards to the general public?

I just recently moved into a home in the woods and we are having a problem with spiders and other misc bugs that are now drawing in things that eat spiders, like scorpions. I've tried just regular bug spray (like RAID, etc), but I feel like I'm just treating the surface problem, because they always return.

Short of calling a professional, anyone have any particular suggestions of what to use? I want something that isn't going to keep my family out of the house for days or hurt any of my pets. I've never had this problem before, so any suggestions/remedies would be appreciated. Please be specific.

(warning, due to this questions gruesome nature, the faint of heart should read no further!)

I'm writing a horror story that concerns spiders growing to 50' in size and another with humans shrunk to about 1" tall. In each
case black widow spiders feed on humans prior to laying eggs. My question concerns the effects of large amounts of
her spider venom on a human victim. A detailed answer of the venom's paralysis effects and information on how the enzymes
liquify the tissue and how long this process might last. Are the bones liquified too? I've been told that the venom effects vary by spider species as well.

Could someone verify this information: The victims would be paralyzed, then cocooned. Her venom hardens the skin and the victims can be ingested while they are still alive.

Please be as detailed in your explanation as possible.
