Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Bugs are ugly

So, I'm at work all night, and my workplace is near a lake
and there are alot of lights
and so I go outside for a cigarette
and I turn, and something is flying towards me through the air
and it's big, and it's ugly
So I end up jumping out the way yelling obscenities, and it hits wall behind me with a loud "twack" noise
and it falls to the ground, and it's about 4 inches long, and it turns out it's a Giant Water Bug. Y'know, the kind that bite and are big and ugly.
And I look around
And there are lots and lots and lots of them flying around, and crawling around, and generally being kind of scary looking
So I caught some
What scary bugs have you guys seen lately?

there's a reason we aren't all dying from poisonous shit
that's right mother fuckin spiders save the day
I can understand people not wanting to deal with bigger spiders, but people seem to freak out over the small ones as well
fucking pussies
You are never more than 5 feet away from one
Also, they eat peskier bugs, like mosquitos and things
There are no bugs in my house
I understand that they're called potato bugs in some parts of the country. Distinct from mole crickets. I grew up calling them "cara de niño," but switched to "Jerusalem cricket" when I started getting into entomology in a big way.
Because my house is on the moon.
if there are bugs in my house they are invisible bugs
Ah, ok. I've never seen either, but then, Giant Water Bugs were are sort of an uncommon sight around here. You find the odd dead one on the road, but I have never seen such a swarm of them as I did last night. 50 or more.
also, during one really rainy season a few years back when water began seeping into the basement, upon drying ants began to come in here. I can't stand ants. A spider or two, that's fine, it can have a little corner to eat bugs in, but creeping waves of little biological swarms brings to mind the Sand Kings way too much. Got rid of them with some raid traps.
Also, termite queens are super ugly and I hope I never have to see one in real life.
I have nothing but respect for a species who can spend all their time rolling up little balls of crap and still make it into a pantheon. That's just good public relations right there.
I have not seen bugs of that size since I was last in China.

Fuck you, South America. Fuck you to death.
Yeah, I had a friend who spent a year in Costa Rica. He used to send me pictures of the most awesome beetles. So jealous.
Braaaaains.
Man, I love bugs. But bullet ants totally deserve anything that happens to them.
or how about solifugae?
or maybe amblypygids??
I watched three seconds of that, and then had to turn it off...ew.
Don't, on average, people eat like 5 - 10 spiders a year in their sleep?
But they're more deadly if it's an AIDs cock.
I mean, don't get me wrong, you do eat pounds of insects and spiders every year. But that's just as a result of eating processed food.

Ah, the botfly, parasitic abomination
"For example, if a jar of grape jelly contains400 grams and 2 insect parts are found in 1 gram, then the whole jar should contain about 800 insect parts"
Yuuummm...
Not that I care really, I ate a tomato bug for $10 in highschool.

"My cat cannot eat that!"
just to stick it to the bugs
they'll probably devour my ashes anyway, but it wont taste as good!
Oh dear god yes I've seen that before.
That reminds me of a story one of our high school teachers told us once... about some woman who woke up one day with a rather saw eye. She just kinda ignored it cause it would come and go, but eventually a few days later, she got a lump under her eyelid, and it became rather large and sore. So apparently she squeezed this lump, and dozens of tiny little spiders burst out from under her eyelid D:
