1. During the summer of this year, while I was enjoying the sun and being generally passive, I was confronted by an alligator lizard in my backyard trying to assert its dominance.
2. Roughly during my community College years (2011-2014), my parents had a handful of ceramic pots stacked in the backyard. One day, a rather large black widow claimed one of the pots as its hovel. I sprayed it with poison and after falling into the puddle of poison at the bottom it charged in my general direction before freezing up and dying.
3. Once upon a time, after mowing the backyard, I felt a distinctive pinch on the back of my leg and looked to find it was a yellow jacket delicately plucking my leg hairs.
