    I hate bugs, now if you thought of the software kind first, slap yourself in the face 'cos your a nerd. I amn't talking about that kind, I am talking about the multi-legged kind. Now I bless the Lord God himself because I live in Ireland, and we only have very small bugs, and worst you could get is a wasp sting. But I am aware that the Cpians live in all manner of foreign lands, with all manner of giant, hairy bugs, stingy, bitey, crawley, yuchey bugs! How do you do it ? Its like there alien, they don't belong on this planet. So tell me about your bugs and their goings on ? :rolleyes: Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

              I was at work one day (hated it). I stood up and saw something on my chair. It was a 3 inch red and black centipede. It was as fat as a lipstick. Guess he crawled up next to me to stay warm. We threw him out the window. -c

                        Down here in the western Cape of South Africa, we seem to be having an invasion of crickets. Damned annoying when they're in the roof and you're trying to sleep. :mad: Their numbers peaked a couple of weeks ago, now we seem to be getting more than the usual numbers of centipedes. Did we in some way offend a small god, and he/she/it is now punishing us with plagues ? :-D Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

                                  Lightning bugs are cool, but I don't recall ever seeing one in person. One interesting thing about them is that the method they use to light up is ~95% efficient (keeping the bug from burning up, but staying a little warmer with only ~5% of the energy being heat). Too bad our light bulbs are closer to the opposite. John

                                    Hmmm.. We have scorpions, especially a black variety that grows to about 9" in length. And Black Widow spiders, of course. Along with their miniscule, but far deadlier cousins, the Brown Recluse spiders. There's a cockroach the size of a rat, which the locals like to call a waterbug. And there are vinegaroons - technically a sun spider, which is aggressive enough to actually attack humans on purpose. On top of the bugs, we also have a nice selection of venomous snakes - the coon-tail, the diamondback, and the most toxic of all rattlesnake sub-species, the Mohave Green. There's also a venomous lizard called the Gila Monster, just for variety.

                                      I hate bugs, now if you thought of the software kind first, slap yourself in the face 'cos your a nerd. I amn't talking about that kind, I am talking about the multi-legged kind. Now I bless the Lord God himself because I live in Ireland, and we only have very small bugs, and worst you could get is a wasp sting. But I am aware that the Cpians live in all manner of foreign lands, with all manner of giant, hairy bugs, stingy, bitey, crawley, yuchey bugs! How do you do it ? Its like there alien, they don't belong on this planet. So tell me about your bugs and their goings on ? :rolleyes: Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"

                                      Mosquitos! I can't think of anything good about them... Well, maybe I can. They make me like bats and spiders, which eat mosquitos. :) During a visit to Pennsylvania, I learned about June Bugs. (I don't know what their "real" name might be.) They're about the size of the end of your thumb (past the last knuckle), have a rather hard shell, and are either very stupid or have no navigational skills. Sitting on an outside porch, you hear them banging into whatever hard objects might have been innocently sitting in the middle of nowhere. You also have to watch out, because it doesn't feel good when they ram into you. :eek: John

                                        here in Florida we have all manner of nasties: -spiders -brown recluse - not as big as Aussie spiders, but mega-poisonous. you don't meet many survivors of a brown recluse bite -insects -fire ants - big, red, mean and nasty. about 1cm long. when i was a teenager - got several bites on my leg that got infected, almost lost my leg. -cockroaches - if you see small ones, the eggs have just hatched and you will be seeing LOTS more of them, big ones can be up to 4inches(10cm?), ugly freaky, immune to bug spray and knives,, i stabbed one with a fork and it was 3 years before i killed that bastard (4 little holes on his carapace) -palmetto bugs - flying cockroaches, scary as shit, sound like a soft machine gun, all the bad stuff of cockroaches, but airborne -fleas - if you have pets, you have fleas, i hate them the worst -snakes -american rattler - besides the american west, florida is home to the rattler, they crawl under sleeping bags and tents, be careful when camping -water mocassin - deadlier than the rattler, all black with red strikes on his head, they swim fast and can jump out of water when scared, make lots of noise -John
