I ****in hate Camel Crickets ...

ugly, nasty, and can jump really high. They are fairly hard to kill and will actually jump at you. We had a nest of them in my parent's basement and they'd somehow find their way up to the first floor of the house.

Thank god they nuked their nest and I haven't seen the ugly bastards since.


Now I know why they made so many horror movies based on insects getting to the size of lions. We'd all be ****ed six ways to Sunday...

I'm more afraid of bees/wasps/hornets than I am spiders. But I still fear spiders. >_> One time I crushed a spider (atleast... I thought I did...) and when I pulled my hand up, I saw that it was completely unharmed. D:

Saw this while letting the dog out a couple minutes ago, probably the biggest spider i've ever seen in person. Yes, it is dead now.

Weak. You are all forgetting the worst doemstic US creeping menace.

Potato Bug.

They eat your cheeks while you sleep. That is their only food source. Human cheek meat.

I became fascinated with these after finding two in a laundry room in San Francisco (that's right, SF Gafers. Noe freaking valley.)

Anyway, they were so huge and monstrous I thought they had escaped from a zoo or some shit. And yes, they DO bite.

Native Americans called them Evil Space Babies or some shit, because they have HUMAN FACES and are evil.

Here's a picture I took of one of our lovely redbacks. Sydney is full of them, and we seem to collect rather large ones in our back yard.

They are poisonous of course. But not aggressive at all.

Star nosed mole. If i ever run into one I'm pretty sure i would attack it uncontrollably, nothing that ugly deserves to live (and i can't even kill spiders, but that mole just triggers a kill instinct like nothing else).

I remember once when I was making myself a bowl of cereal, just as I was about to pour milk, an earwig came out under a corn flake, moving around on my cereal.

It was delicious

I have a story to tell.

Today I made a new friend and I touched her snake. It was the first time I've ever done that and I was shaking. I feel really good about myself for doing that.

Here's a true story, while I was a teenager we'd get earwigs in our basement and one day being scientifically curious I decided to pin one down and I cut it in half. The thorax and head tried to make a break for it and was promptly killed. The abdomen though.... it kept flexing for nearly an hour. Ever since those things have become some of my least favorite bugs.

Lol at the dude who still thinks daddy long-legs are poisonous and lol at Americans being such spider-phobes, coz in Australia I ride my pet spider to school and then when I get there we all fight our spiders against each other for fun and then I go home and feed little spiders to my monster spider colony.

Seriously though, there's big spiders everywhere where I live but if they aren't redbacks or funnel-webs I couldnt care less about them. (Oh and white tails, I havent worked out if Im allergic to them and I don t want to find out the hard scarred way) but it doesnt matter if its huntsmen, money-spiders, wolf spiders or long-legs I usually just try and flick/brush/carry them back outside where they belong.

Meh, here in Australia you can't take more than a few steps without having a million different deadly poisonous insects, spiders and snakes flinging themselves in your direction.

Stereotype or not where I live (and that's in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney no less) I'm assailed by venemous creatures on a daily basis.

Then again, I live on a golf course.

Either it's the craziest coincidence ever, or the myth is true. I woke up one morning and had the most incredibly annoying tickling inside my ear. There was also a rustling noise that was very loud. I really thought I might be going insane. I asked my father to look inside my ear, and he shone a flashlight inside. "Oh my god, there's an insect in there!" The bug was attracted to the light and moved up and my dad was able to grab it with tweezers. Now, I don't think it was going to lay eggs in there and they'd eat into my brain, but it was an earwig. Thanks for the heebie-jeebies, I'd almost supressed that memory.
