Ok. Enough news about Joe Lieberman, angry A-Rabs, and kittens around here. It's time to tell us what your favorite bug is and why.
Pissants top 7 are as follows:
7. Potato Bug. The little fellers are like miniature Armadillos and was one you could pick up as a kid without getting bitten or stung.
6. Earwig or Pincher Bug. Those pinchers on their tushes are quite intimidating. And for some reason like to hang out in Dahlias, so beware.
5. Butterfly. They always looked the best tacked to my bug collection corkboard. And were much easier to catch than grasshoppers.
4. Army Ants. These little communists are simply amazing. Putting your arm into an ant hill as a kid was a right of passage.
3. Dung Beetle. Besides being awesome at rolling a turd accross the ground, the name is a useful insult to be tossed around at cocktail parties.
2. Bird Eating Spider. There is nothing cooler than watching a giant spider attack a bird or small rodent.
1. Praying Mantis. This bug has inspired many nightmares in people and is responsible, with the onset of National Geographic photos and TV, for inspiring many loonies to claim they have been abducted by aliens. Any similarity to James Carville is strictly incidental.
I can send ya some. We got tarantulas and regular scorpions too.
I lived in Phoenix for a few years. Scorpions, tarantulas, black widows and monster roaches. All in my house. LOL
I'll send my BIL your way, that will round out the vermin.
Post a pic of one, you're talking about the "baby of the earth" bugs aren't you? Or rolly pollys?
I think I saw one of those things crawl into Chekhov's ear once.
All time best bug ever.

ANT LION!
Or rolley polley.
Hate the cockroach. Spiders, snakes, frogs, bats--all okay. But a cockroach just reminds me too much of Hillary.
Oh. You mean real bugs. Asin, insects?
I thought this thread was something else.
In my world, PVT means Product Verification Testing.
Back to insects, my favorite is what I call a June Bug. Not sure of the actual name but it looks like this and they're all over the place up here in June and July.
Thank you.
It apparently affected Sulu even more. He got addicted to buggering.
LOL. Indeed he did
ROTFLMAO! Which one silly?
Cool! When you scroll up and down it looks like the Vinegaroon's legs are moving!
