Palmetto bugs - the bane of my existence

Meh, I've only seen a few in my garage ever. They scurry under something and they're gone.

Now this fucker?

This fucker scared the bajesus out of me.

I had to hit it with the hose to get it away from my front door. [The picture is almost to scale - maybe 1:1.3]

Why would you be afraid of that?

It's basically a night butterfly.

Yes, I'm uneducated and homosexual. I think you're missing an episode of Glenn Beck or Fox News Radio... You need to find things more offensive to accuse me of; like being a liberal or Muslim.

I don't care what you think of Florida, I'm only here 6-8 months out of the year, but let's be clear: Detroit sucks.

I believe in your right to suck as many cocks as you'd like so I'm not bagging on you for your lifestyle. I also happen to think Glenn Beck and most of the Fox crew are fucking trolls, along with Olberman, Maddow etc., but I believe in their right to troll people. I don't watch them because I'm not a fucking retard.

I just pointed out that it was funny you got your panties in a bunch just because someone doesn't like Florida - are you on the fucking tourist board or something? I also thought it was funny that you think Detroit sucks, despite never having been there. But I'm alright with that, because well - I just can't get worked up over something that means so little. The part I don't understand is why you want to derail a thread that is clealry about flying cockroaches, and the people that love them. Carry on.

I've lived in an apartment where there was a cockroach infestation and another with a brown recluse infestation.

The Brown Recluse is a nasty little mofo. I couldn't live in a place infested with them either... F that

LoL thats a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach. They're usually that big, and judging by the horns and tail end its a male. Palmettos look more like american roaches but are as big as those above.

My wife loves the Madagascar ones, but HATES the Palmettos.
 
They come out around here, usually in the summer time. I, too, show very little mercy to those filthy little aliens. In fact, on many occasions I have gone hunting them in my yard late at night allllll drunk and usually high with just my buddy, a flashlight, and this thing I've had since I was a kid:

They are very difficult to kill. Even if you shoot their little heads clean off, they will continue scurrying around for a very long time. Setting them on fire is the only tried and true method of quickly eradicating them.
 
I live in Canada, we don't have that shit there. But sometimes some sad fucker still comes at me, then I'm like say hello to hairspray (not mine btw) and a lighter. Fuckers never know what hit them.

The palmettos are disgusting fucking nuclear resistant shitbags that need to be extinct.
 
Lucky enough not to get a lot of bugs here in Phoenix, but came home to these two guys and snapped some pics. My friends think the first one is a camel spider or something, I really have no idea. Fucker looked like a spider/scorpion cross breed.

What you lack in insects you make up for in aracnids, especially scorpions including the tiny lil fuckers. Don't really care to have to check my shoes every single time or walking around at night only to be stuck in the foot (though I wear shoes of some kind most of the day anyways).
