fucking bugs


alright, gonna give you some backstory to why I made this thread. there's cool, pretty bugs like butterflies and luna moths and grasshoppers and crickets and cute, fat caterpillars that you don't see too much. There's also the obnoxious, biting, buzzing, overly common and disease-carrying bugs that flock during the summer months.

just two minutes ago I saw a huge cranefly, a bug that's totally harmless but big, clumsy, and loud. took that forgeter outside by it's wings.

after returning to my comp, a big-assed beetle called a may-beetle flew in through a crack in my window. these are also bugs known for being absolutely handicapped, having the flying prowess of a drunken man and sounding like a helicopter. these things are about the size of quarters, and are big, fat forgeters, so smacking them with a shoe would leave a mess. so I released it outside (i had to do this twice yesterday).

these same situations play over again year after year. I bet if I looked outside on the porch I'd see a dozen dead may-beetles on the ground, and a stuffload of bugs buzzing around the light. Any of you cool dudes ever have to deal with bugs? Cool bugs? stuffty bugs?

I lit a beetle on fire with a match once...

whoops, forgot about these forgeters

Dragonflies don't deserve to be called dragonflies.

would you prefer them to breathe fire.
no wait you want them to have giant roosters for you, nevermind.

The name is very old.


My dream insect pet.

loving hornets.
Someone post that one picture graph thing of them because I'm on my iPod.

I hate summer. Everything about it. It needs to be winter all year.

Normally I hate stupid bugs flying around my monitor and stuff.  but one night last summer, there was a special little guy.  He was a little green bug who landed on the top of my keyboard.  I looked at him and he was kind of cool.  He didn't fly around and annoy me, he just chilled wherever.  Later he chilled on the top of a soda can.  I named him Jimmy!  I said good night to Jimmy and left for bed.

I did not see Jimmy that morning, but later when my cousin came over, I saw him again!  I said it was Jimmy and my cousin squished him :(

Later I did much searching on google to try and find out what kind of bug he was.  We came to the conclusion that he was a Green Lacewing.  I then finished Jimmy's name.  His name was Jimmy Lacewing.


RIP Jimmy Lacewing

This happened last night.
A little backstory, we've been having butt-tons of moths in our house recently.

>Walk into kitchen
>See the loving mother of all moths on the wall
>Attack it
>Flies away
>Look up at ceiling
>COVERED in tiny moths
>this must end now
>Open up pantry, search frantically through things to find the source of these demonic beasts
>Find a bag labeled "Fruit and Nut Medley"
>It is cracked open, expiration date was last year
>Brace myself, open it and peer inside
>EVERYTHING is a mix of this brown paste and moths of varying sizes
>Throw that forgeter in the trash

Later I walked in the kitchen and there were no moths in sight.
