These are bad, but they're easy to catch and kill (a b to clean up though.) Roaches are still the worst.
Thanks for describing the hellhole that is Arizona :)Did I mention that 'bark' comes from them living on trees so they are excellent climbers? Find them often in the backyard on the cinderblock fence and the crevices of that. If they do get inside they can easily climb the walls and even ceiling.
Only creature on earth I would exterminate if I could.
It's a Brahmin-moth Caterpillar
Spoiler tag with a warning that shit... No one wants to randomly see that.
I mean, the thread was asking for startling insects. That weta seems to top the list.Spoiler tag with a warning that shit... No one wants to randomly see that.
...the hell are its legs doing? It's like its putting so much effort and concentration into the bite that it lost control of three of its limbs...
I was actually wondering the same thing. He's super-stressed out (which is why he's releasing that brownish fluid), so maybe that's the reason? Or he's just trying to balance....the hell are its legs doing? It's like its putting so much effort and concentration into the bite that it lost control of three of its limbs...
At least palmetto bugs are more solitude insects. I grew up in Miami too and they'd get in every so often. But when I lived in Orlando, it was the german roaches. Those are a living nightmare. I'd take the pamletto bugs any day.How to tell that someone hasn't been to florida... They post anything that's not a palmetto bug (otherwise known as Florida's giant flying roach).
Those things are 2-3 inches long, often sneak into homes, and they fly. They are not silent flyers. They are loud and slam into things and are still roachy ass roaches.
JOOCYNah, that would be the potato bug. They look horrible, emit a foul smell and can bite like a motherfucker.
Ditto. They're bloody huge! No insect should reasonably be that large.
Id say cicada killers are up there,huge meaty wasp muthasuckas. There are 8-10 buzzing around everyday at all entrances in the front of my house. I get to walk through them all the time yay :D

But they sound cool, at least!Yep and they look like creatures from outer space. I hate them.
Silverfish aka house centipedes
These Lovecraftian horrors pop out of fucking nowhere and scurry away or toward you like something out of John Carpenter's the Thing. They're harmless, but dear god do they scare me more than any other bug I've encountered. So damn creepy...
