Ahhh so that's what they look like. I grabbed a handful of these in my backyard earlier this summer and paid for it dearly! I thought for a while about looking at the "stinger" hairs with the scope, but decided to get out some gardening tools and get my revenge instead!

Well I gotta say they don't look as sharp magnified, as they feel when you brush up against them

Nice photos, especially that second one.
