抓豹虎 Catching tiny spiders




最不好玩就是跟着哥哥与他的朋友去抓‘豹虎’,‘豹虎’就是如小蜘蛛之类的昆虫,用来与朋友所抓到的打架,看看谁的比较厉害能打赢,它们的屋子也就是公公的空纸或铁的香烟盒子。

有一次我穿着短裤和短袖的衫与他们一起探险,进入沟渠旁的草丛内,通常‘豹虎’都是躲在两片叶子之间,他们要慢慢的撕开叶子,一发现就连叶子一拼放进烟仔盒子内。

那时的我,白白甜甜的肉,被蚊子叮到全身痒,叫表妹数数看有多少粒肿起来的蚊叮,竟有几十粒之多,如在今日,必定中骨痛热症而入院了!!!


The thing I didn’t like to do was following my brother and his friends to go catch ‘leopard tiger’, a type of insect looks like small spiders, they used the ‘leopard tiger’ to fight with friend’s to see whose ‘leopard tiger’ were the most powerful one, the tiny spiders’ dwelling place were Grandpa’s empty paper or tin cigarette boxes.
There was once I was wearing short pants and a short-sleeved shirt when adventuring out with them, into the bushes beside the ditch, ‘leopard tiger’ usually were hiding in between two leaves, the boys had to tear the leaves slowly while searching for them, once they found the tiny spider in between the leaves, they would put the whole things together into the cigarette boxes.
That time, my sweet and tender flesh was attacked by the mosquitoes, the whole body was so itchy, asked my cousin sister to count the swollen mosquito stings, which were more than 20 stings. If it was today, I certainly would get dengue fever and hospitalized already!
