They eat all the mosquitos at my cottage! I actually made friends with one at the dock and every time a mosquito landed on me the dragonfly would swoop down and snatch him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 We get the mosquito-fogger truck driving through neighborhoods every so often. What scares me are the three kids, all from the same family, who like to ride their bikes right behind the truck every time, directly in the mist of insecticide. They follow it up and down the street. Bet THEIR children will be interesting -looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 This is our third year of stinkbugs here. A few here and there. They don't really do anything. They just hang out - mostly in the drapes. They are pretty harmless. Tiny little army tanks with feet. I just pick them up and put them outside.

librarian Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I just think of them as the hippie of the bug world, they mean no harm, they hang out, and sometimes stink a little. I mean that in the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT'S a stink bug?? We had them all over the place in Spokane (where I grew up). I haven't seen a single one over here. I never knew what kind of bugs those were. If I can't see a bug, I'm ok with it. It's the creepy crawly things we have all over the place here in Seattle that brings on barfing attacks. And they all start with the letter 's'.

sullysue Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 We're dealing with "waterbugs" right now in my area of Texas. These things are basically massive versions of cockroaches that fly. Not only do they fly, they wait to do so at the precise moment you're poised to wail on them with a shoe, rolled up paper, what have you. When they know you're at your most vulnerable, they fly into your face or hair. I've had full-on nervous breakdowns dealing with those mothers. And, if you do have an opportunity to step on one, first they crunch, then squish/splat, and spray bug guts EVERYWHERE. Oh... my... god... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerInstinct Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I hate bugs. especially caterpillars. And slugs. but those are mollusks. But it doesn't matter, cuz they both creep me out. my .02 on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Aubrey Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 My dog tried to eat a stinkbug when he was a puppy. Funniest thing I've ever seen. He was actually licking the ground to get the taste out of his mouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get those in the coastal areas of the Southeast, as well, and we call them Palmetto bugs. Yeah - they're gross. Totally give me the willies.
