Man I'm the biggest chicken

Cockroaches freak me out.

Does anyone have link to pics or info of those Camel Spiders?

Do you know how annoying insects would be if there weren't spiders to eat half of the insect population? Trust me it would suck.

Did you know that daddy long legs are one of the most poisonous spiders discovered?

[-Carnifex-]

Spiders don't scare me.

Are'nt daddy long legs' fangs to weak to penetrate human skin, wich is why we all did'nt die when we were little and rippin of their legs.

Konigballer, are you be talking about those big *** red tree roaches? We have plenty of those here in Texas. Those suck because they can actually fly. All you girls that complain should man up.

yup.......

kendog, ours are more brown but we're definetley talkin' bout the same thing. The first time a found out they could fly short distances was when one of them took off from a wall and flew right at me. We were quickly drawn in to mortal combat but I emerged, gut strewn compass in hand, victorious!!

You know what scares the hell out of me?

Envelopes.

Yeah, you heard me.

A few years ago I read this article about a girl that licked an envelope and cut her tongue. She thought nothing of it at the time until her tongue started to get swollen and she went to a doctor.

Well, turns out that cockroaches tend to lay tons of eggs in those cartons and when she cut her tongue she got some eggs in it. When the Doc cut her tongue to see what was going on in there a &$^#&%*ing cockroach popped out of her MOUTH!!!

So, now I'm terrified of envelopes.

(I read this article a few years ago on CNN and FoxNews, so I am reasonably certain it's true)

That's a myth. Daddy long legs aren't even spiders.

And about the envelope and cockroach egss, that's true. It was on CNN and such a few years back. I'm careful as well when I lick envelopes now.

Dude, I'm gonna have to go out and buy some envelope sponges now because I will never be able to lick one again.

Seriously though, the reason bugs are scary is because it's like "whoa, what the hell are you doing?" and then you see something with like 4 eyes and like 7 legs and like 1.3 million progeny on their back. It's sick.

One time though, I found this huge beetle, and I mean HEE-YUGE. This thing was probably president of some African country it was so big, but it was like completely not buggly type. It was like as if a five year old had made a bug out of clay. So I let it chill on my knee while I watch Miami Vice, and I guess he/she/it watched it too. I named him Don Johnson. However, when Miami Vice was over, I assasinated it with a small knife I found in the woods earlier.

what i REALLY hate is when you are taken a shower, and you lift up the shampoo and a big roach goes running out from underneath it. its so fun trying to kill it with...whatever you can!

its alwaya cool when you are outside and from nowhere a 5 inch beetle comes flying into the side of your head and falls in your lap.....yeah thats cool too


oh, and im not so much afraid of the spider/roach/whatever as i am freaked out from out of nowhere this creepy lookin things comes out.

i am licensed to buy, sell, prescribe and use restricted use pesticides. insects are no match for me. i have a great respect for them and admire many of them. most are incredibly efficient creatures ideally adapted to do their jobs.

the wildest thing i ever saw was a yellowjacket sting a dragonfly in midair, the dragonfly drops to the sidewalk. with surgical precision the yellow jacket systematically cut off the wings and head of the dragonfly with its mouthparts, picked up the body(like a sikorsky sky crane) and flew off to where ever. the whole process took about 10 seconds.

I just laughed so hard I almost spit milk out all over my keyboard...

what freaks me out was when i was little and used to look for baseballs behind the baseball fields. (small texas town -near kendogg actually- and there was some ranch property behind the fields.) Well there would be like 3 or 4 foot grass and we would overturn boards to see if there were balls under them. lord almight what i didnt see in those days. water moccasins, rattlesnakes, especially copperheads, black widows by the hundreds, just tons of stuff.

and our roaches dont fly short distances, i was watching tons (maybe like 30) of them fly up in the top of a tree with a spotlight and one of them flew all the way over from it into my house and proceeded to fly around there for over an hour.
They aren't clean but beatles arent clean either.. ever hear of the dung beetle. guess what they ball up and roll around to attract the honey dung beetle mommas.

one time i saw one of those HUGE HORNETS HUGE over 3 inches long and about a full inch wide carrying around a cicada* those green fat insects that fly and make ungodly noises at night (they come from those brown bugs that make little holes in the ground. they have claws and you can get them to clamp down on a stick and drag them up) anyway im digressing... it was carrying a big ole cicada and i hit it mid-air with a rubber boot. i hit the hell out of it and it fell but started to get right back up. then i went as fast as i could not wanting to get stung and had to stomp hard twice to finally kill it. then i played with its stinger and threw it at people. that was neat.
