When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don't take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn't know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don't talk about baseball at home.

All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten.

Chinese Philosopher

 So that's where it likes to hunt all of its invertebrates. It's very quick, and it's also got a couple of defence mechanisms and threat displays so it can raise up its abdomen a bit like a scorpion, it does a scorpion like pose, and that's to intimidate its predators.
