Just been out for a ride on the bike, weather's marginal but I still go up to Middway cafe in the a41 for bike night every Thursday. On the way back, it's dark, loads of oncoming traffic so I have my visor flipped halfway up to see better. Something hard whacks me in the cheek, and I see it bounce off towards my screen, small, black, then it's gone. Stings like hell but feels like there's itchy stuff on my cheek and ear. Pulled over, had a look by streetlight, thought maybe it was blood, but I can see nothing.
I've just arrived home and had a good look and found half dozen tiny little brown crablike things scurrying about on the edge of my helmet lining and a couple on my face. Maybe 1.5mm across.
What the hell are they? What hit me that flies and carries baby crabs? A flying crab? I've sprayed me helmet with bug spray now, and I feel itchy all over. Ewwwwwwww..
