Subject: Bizarre Insects
I just now saw this really huge thing! It looks like a giant fly, i thought it was dead but i moved it and it made a small rattleing noise. Ive never seen anything like it before. Its not a grasshopper or cricket..its like a giant-sized fly. Im looking at it right now, its not scarey, im just amazed of how big it is.
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
I've had my fair share of bizarre insect-like encounters in my time. Some of them, you truly don't believe how big they are until you see them, am I not right, QA?
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
Okay, i had to pick it up(really gorss, i know), but its just a beetle..still its a strange looking one, and its very squishy.
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
Word of warning kids. Don't mash insects into pulpiform. Not pleasant, is it, QA?
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
So mean of me, but i threw it out my window ;D.I was hopeing someone had an idea of what it could be.
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
There's an insect just above my PC (actually, there are a few, the word must be out ;D)
It's not that big and looks like a grasshopper/cricket.
But it's just so Green!
Not just a bit green but bright green. :o
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
It could be a cicada.
Big.
Giant wings.
Tastes good with Velveeta.

Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
I am scared to death of most insects - especially cockroaches. I have a hard time killing insects, though.
Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
Okay, what's up with bugs right now. I just had the biggest friggin thing come flying in the door. I have no idea what it was. It looked like a mosquito but it was the size of my hand. And I swear to God it had an elephant's trunk.

Nope. We call those mosqutio hawks and they don't bother me. This thing looked like a "skeeter eater" on steroids.

Subject: Re: Bizarre Insects
