Grounded combat tips
Pick on something your own size
With a good selection of bug friends wandering the yard, it’s easy to get ahead of yourself and pick a fight with anything that crosses your path. After all, you don’t know how tough a critter is until they decide to bite back — and they will.
The general rule here is, the bigger are they, the harder they are. Small creatures like the gnat and aphid aren’t a threat, but something more evenly matched in stature — like the ant — can hunt you if you’re not careful. Ladybugs may seem docile, but they can take a good deal of damage and dish out even more.
As for spiders … forget about it. They’ll chase you for miles and rip you apart before you get a chance to fight back.
