Super Huge Bugs of Doom!

[Hubbitron]

Kind of, but with tornadoes instead of dinosaurs.

Also, they have beers that are shaped like bowling pins.

^.^ Nope, Colorado. Thankfully here we only get 2 that fly in the door, instead of 10.

And I remember having Cranflys when I lived in California too, only they were much smaller.

YORE LYENG. NO ONE FROM TNL LIVES IN CO.

if you eat at Smash Burger, buy books at Tattered Cover, go to the Landmark Esquire Theater for midnight movies, or stop in Twist & Shout for new music releases, you're totally stalking me. Colorado's got like 3 inhabitable cities and they're all within 80 miles of each other, SO PERHAPS YOU ARE.

also this is the only critter i've seen in CO that's scared me-



): I know they're in Alabama too, but i never saw them in my house.

I actually never like killing bugs unless I have to, and when I see spiders in my room I use to leave them alone... that is until I started feeling shit crawl on me at night, which started getting really annoying. One night I felt one crawl right across my frickin face. That pissed me off so I turned the light on, found the thing, and killed it. I feel kind of bad now.

And Finch, I know there's at least one other person from Colorado, someone mentioned Boulder in one of the threads but I forgot who it was. And yeah, Black Widows are really common here, though I only see them outside.

Colorado TNL get together is officially go! We'll meet at Six Flags and look for spiders!

Sup?

Those fuckers are scary as fuck all.

We had one get in the teachers office once and everyone freaked the fuck out. Their stings can fucking kill you... the venom in their sting eats through human flesh.

Shit is not cool... not cool at all.

You don't live in CO now do you? O.o


I really do not like these potato bugs. I think they are one of the most disgusting looking things, clicking on the full size image gave me the chills. I'm just glad I don't see them very often.

[Finch]

Yeah, i do, glad to see the bugs look creepier here than in the north and southeast.

Jesus, those things look big. I'm kind of hoping i'll see one in the summer, but i'm also a little afraid of it.

I used to find potato bugs all the time when flipping over logs and shit when I lived in the boonies. Weird ass looking bug, certainly disgusting in a way that most bugs aren't. But I was never afraid of them. No idea what they could do.

On the topic of bees, here's a fun fact: I've never been stung. And I'm just shy of being deathly afraid of being stung 'cause my mom is allergic and I've no idea if I am or not (on the bright side, my dad and my sisters are not allergic).

So, when i was like 2 or 3, i had no idea that a bee was a bee. When i was told to keep away from the side of the school because of the bees, i was wondering what the danger of a B was. So i got stung. The same thing happened with sticker bushes, because what kind of child doesn't like to get stickers?

Also, i found this bug a few months ago at a rest stop in Alabama.



I was trying to take pictures of bees, but i saw this little green fleck on a flower. It looked like a little leaf, but upon closer examination, it's a bug! I think it's an ambush bug, which hides out and catches other insects, like bees.

According to the Schmidt Sting Index, a honeybee has a worse sting then the hornet pictured.
