I just watched a snake eat a frog today. It was rather interesting to see it in the wild for once.

Mmm what cool stories! We had an ant problem too, in the kitchen... but it was okay since me and my brother liked to pick up the ants and do experiments on them involving glue, water, scissors and lamps. I think after they noticed that their comrades were missing, they decided to stop dropping by.

Centipedes are the worst things... there was one on my wall once (I have NO idea how it got there...), don't have any anti-bug spray so had to rely on air refreshener... it fell down and up to today I can't find it's "corpse". There was also a beehive in my basketball pole thing, those things are -tough-, tried to drown the bees, suffocate them with smoke, burn them... they still survived. Soo...eventually I taped over the open ends and they were trapped there to rot. Killing bugs is one thing I don't feel guilty about... what makes them so creepy anyway?

What is it with girls and bugs... seriously, every girl I know within a 50 mile radius seems to think it's cool to call me at 2am, yelling that they're standing on top of their bed/table/sofa because there's a bug/spider on the wall/floor/dishwasher. Then they expect me to drive however far over there based on their screaming directions as to what's going on in which case I'm assuming that someone's died or is dying so I race over there going 120 down the highway to discover it's a mosquito or some lil spider.

The only time that bugs sucked was when I was riding a bike during my first semester at college. I was jetting down a hill going as fast as possible and I hit a swarm of hornets flying away from me, and thus two stingers were violently injected into my neck. I started walking to the infirmary and passed out at their doorstep because apparently their stingers had penentrated straight into that throbbing very vital vein within your neck. Bleh. Stupid things made me late for my next class.

I can't help but laughing at that story, Raezon, that just sucks. laugh.gif

Man, I don't even wanna remember the hornets in Italy. Some of those things were like as big as my hand, I swear.

And my dad is a total monster. He kicked one right in front of me so it got EVEN MORE PISSED OFF. angry.gif angry.gif angry.gif

I really don't know what it is with girls and bugs. They're just so icky.

I think with ant stories, I win. biggrin.gif Except we put it in the garage and last time I checked they'd all gone sad.gif.

I don't like spiders much, but daddy long legs are alright as long as I know where they are... I get really freaked out when I suddenly notice a bug that had probably been there for a while and that I was completely oblivious to. Doesn't matter if it's just a moth or a cricket (We get a surprising amount of them considering that we have two cats who like to kill them...). Big spiders sitting over doorways are not good, though fear.gif. My brother gets to remove those...

Oh. My. God.

Damn ants. They sneak in everywhere. Someone nerf 'em already.

At my house in Delaware, we get some crazy strong flys. I aquired one of those bug zapper things that you can swing at the bugs, and they're supposed to fizzle and die. Well, one fly LANDED ON IT, so with an evil grin, I turned it on and let it sizzle for about 10 seconds, until I could smell it burning. I tipped the thing over, the fly hits the ground, stays there for a second, then flies away. Grrr. Those things are loud in your room too, when you're trying to sleep. Could be worse, one of my friends was sleeping, and woke up to a bat in her room.

I have to say, the coolest bugs EVAR were the cicadas last year. SOOO much fun to play with. I would catch em and let em walk on my face and stuff. Once while I was standing outside talking to a friend, one just flew into my mouth laugh.gif

No one here has the right to complain about bugs, when, I was kid and my Grandmother lived in Michigan, one of my first memories, I was like 2-3 years old, and still learning how to be potty trained, my Grandmother told me to be careful around the toilet, as Black widows (you know, those very venomenous spiders) like to hide on the rim of the toilet.

To sum it all up, I was bit by one and rushed to the hospital.

Thus, I was scared of spiders and toilets for a long time.

I'll bet that was fun for your parents.

Nah mom, I'll just go outside in the bushes!

Our house gets invaded by ladybugs every Fall.

I'm not kidding. It sounds cute. It isn't. They like, dive-bomb at you. They really like to hit you in the face, which makes me cry.
