Warm Weather And Insects
It's that time of year again around these parts, where things start getting warm, all the new generations of critters and crawlies come skittering out, and many of them — for reasons beyond my comprehension — decide to come snuggle up in human homes instead of their comfortable, food filled outside world. What a wonderful reminder of spring when you least expect it!
... Except this time. This time, I was bitten. By a giant, finger long, fat as hell, pitch black... caterpillar. Let that sink in for a moment before reading my tragic tale. I'd found one in the kitchen yesterday. It scared the hell out of me because, at first, I had no idea what it was! It took me a minute to figure out 'hey, that's not a roach, it's something I actually like!' All well and good. I released it back to its outside world, and went on with my evening. So, just now when I went to fix myself something to eat, I found that either he, or one of his friends, had come back to pay me a visit! "Oh, hello, friend!" I said to this fuzzy mass. I put my hand down to let him crawl on so I could let him outside as well. Instead of doing what I kindly requested it to do for its own benefit? It bit me. Yep. Thanks, bugs. I love you, too. Bug stories anyone? ... Who the hell gets bitten by a caterpillar!? Honestly! |
I got bitten twice by a Huntsman(big ass hairy spider) i took outside instead of letting my mum use 3 cans of bug spray on it ><

Are you sure it wasn't a centipede? You know some can be poisonous! I'd take a benadryl is I were you just in case.
I got bit by a spider in 2009 and a five year dormant diagnoses of lupus that was stopped by a stem cell transplant in 2004 ~ came back ~ IN FULL FORCE! Because I was bitten by a flipping spider. I had to get another stem cell transplant. I used to be nice to the little babies - now I squash them, because I don't want to land in the hospital again after having what could have been the most allergic reaction in history besides dying. |
I am very, very, very, VERY positive. I have seen centipedes, and I have seen thousands of caterpillars, and I know which one this was, lol!
Wow. That REALLY sucks. Poor thing. |
I'm pretty mush used to it - diagnosed when I was 16. *shrug*
But one of the main reasons I moved out of Florida was - the place was teeming with huge flying bugs I didn't know the names of. *oh no sir!* I left as soon as I could. |
Oh yes, the flying ones will get you any day. This early in the year, we've already seen some mystery bugs, bees, and a fair share of oriental roaches. Yikes!
|
I don't know if this relates but one time I drank soda and it tasted good.
|
You know what... I don't want to know what an oriental roach is.
|
... That is not related at all.
And, Faux, they're big and black and live outdoors and can fly. Will fly. At you. |
Pffffff
Try being stung by a Hawk wasp >:O |
