    my aunt lives on the edges of a wildlife preserve in Florida and she gets frogs and snakes swimming up through her plumbing all the time i guess

    first time it happened she went to the bathroom late at night and didn't turn the light on cuz she has a night-light in her bathroom for such occasions and the frog touched her butt when she sat down D:

    she checks now.

    Our field station has frogs living in the drains because during the dry season it's the only consistently wet place around. Plus I guess it's pretty safe from birds.

    Anyway they're adorable but one of my colleagues looked them up and apparently they are toxic to lick. But frankly so is the rest of the shower, so they're in good company.

    Don't lick random animals. Especially without consent.

    My parents have a detached garage with a small apartment that my dad finished and added a small, raised-floor bathroom onto. When I lived in it for a few years, I was often finding small green tree frogs in the toilet. It made for some...exciting...moments.

    I'm only going to follow this advice because you worked on a Cheetah Ranch.

    I'm rewatching Starship Troopers for the first time since it was on pay-per-view. This time around I did some research and it turns out the Madagascar hissing cockroaches the kids were stomping on were fake. No actual bugs were harmed in the making of this motion picture. That's been low-key niggling at me for nearly two decades, and it's good to get some positive closure.

    Context: at the time I originally saw this movie, I had a hissing cockroach named Aristotle, and I was deeply offended at the thought that they'd stomp some of his brethren in a movie where dozens of human beings are graphically torn apart by giant bugs. It was a complicated roller coaster of emotions.

    Hi
    Can someone tell me what kind of bug this is?

    Photo is a bit blurry, sorry.

    It was about 2-3cm long and the edges of the carapace were yellow/orange

    It looks like some kind of wood-boring beetle, but if it's a longhorned beetle or a metallic woodboring beetle or any of the other families of woodboring beetles...*shrug* I seriously can't tell from that image.

    True story though, my colleague sat next to a prince on the flight out here. Maybe something terrible happened...

    Any idea what this soider is? They're in my tool room outside and under the house. They're just tan brown. I think the flash made them look darker. Spoilered for squeamishness.

    Looks like some kind of orbweaver (because it looks too furry and mottley to be a widow spider). Any possibility of getting a "from above" shot? Because most have some kind of distinct pattern on its abdomen.

    That is very much looking like a bedbug.
    May be time to find a new hotel.

    The other day an ant bit me on the peepee.

    It was not a particularly pleasant experience.

    The good news is that it's summer, and if you park your car in direct sunlight all day when it's above 80 degrees, you can create an environment indistinguishable from a professional bed bug oven.

    For some reason, that is the clearest pic I could get. I assume the tub surface was throwing off the camera.
