        Skip this post if you are anywhere near going to bed soon, I don't want to be the cause of a sleepless night. I laid down as I usually do, but it is fairly warm in the house so I didn't cover up my legs. Just as I was about to enter la-la land, something crawled across my leg. At first I thought it was my cat, but after a few moments I realized that my cat was outside (poor kitty). I'm giving up on the idea of going to sleep now. Even if I find whatever it was that crawled across my leg, I'll just imagine it happening every 2 minutes. :sigh: :zzz: James "then when you go to bed...wait, you dont do that do you....ok....when you plug into the 'hive mind' to charge yourself, ill hack into your head" Nnamdi Onyeyiri over MSN

        I've had that happen a bunch of times (usually insects). When it turns out to be a spider, I have trouble sleeping for 2 or 3 days after the incident. Hell, I have trouble sleeping when I see a spider not even in the same room as my bed (or outside for that matter). Spiders scare the living donkey balls out of me. Brad Jennings I like pancakes!

            Most spiders don't bother me....its just the hairy ones that I hate finding. They usually don't live for much longer after that. Fortunately the hairy ones aren't very common in this area, I think I only find a couple each summer.

                Get this; I woke up Sunday morning to find myself and my bedroom covered with hundreds of tiny, brown benign ladybird bugs. They were in my glass of water, on my camera, crawling over my cellphone, in my book, in my hair, some in my ear, on the duvet, on the floor and everywhere else I looked. They did nothing except wander in small circles though. Did not fly or buzz around annoying me. So small I could hardly feel them on my skin. I went and had a bath and 20 minutes later when I came back, they were all gone. Bizarre. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

Maybe your head was done in by too much of the badger song? :laugh: That's definately freaky though. The closest I think I've can come to that was a couple years ago when the Department of Agriculture brought over some insect from Asia. The damn things found every crevice in your house and grew exponentially. My grandma had a small trashcan sitting in her back room that had a 3 inch layer of dead bugs in it. I don't think I saw a single one of those bugs this year, thankfully.

                                    Hehe it's not that big. Average size would be uh.. three inches long an inch wide and an inch and a half high. Biggest I've seen is maybe four and a half inches long, one and a half wide, two inches high?

                                      Get this; I woke up Sunday morning to find myself and my bedroom covered with hundreds of tiny, brown benign ladybird bugs. They were in my glass of water, on my camera, crawling over my cellphone, in my book, in my hair, some in my ear, on the duvet, on the floor and everywhere else I looked. They did nothing except wander in small circles though. Did not fly or buzz around annoying me. So small I could hardly feel them on my skin. I went and had a bath and 20 minutes later when I came back, they were all gone.

                                        Be glad you've never met a [Parktown Prawn](http://Parktown Prawn)[^]. The photo on the website does NOT do this hulking, spawn of hell, devil beast justice. Urrggg.. The things give me the creeps... (added 2 minute later) [Male Parktown prawn picture](http://Male Parktown prawn picture)[^]. I also forgot to tell you these things are UNKILLABLE, secrete a foul black sticky liquid that you cant get rid off and also emit this snake-like hissing noise when irritated.

                                          heh, I would be laughing if you weren't such a strange bugger. Though apparently ladybird bugs are good luck :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?
