Careful not to let them in your ears. They'll burrow into your brains and lay eggs there.

Quote:
Although earwigs are an important predator of some pests, they can cause damage to peaches and apricots by boring into ripening and over ripened fruit. Their feeding damage to soft fruit increases the risk of brown rot infection by wind or water-borne spores and by their suspected transfer of spores as they feed. They also found hide in bagged apples where they feed upon fruit damaged by eyespotted bud moth larvae. They feed at night, and during the day they hide in cracks and crevices and under leaves and twigs next to fruit. Rolled or crumpled newspaper tucked into limb crotches is useful to monitor earwigs. Place plastic bags over the newspaper to keep it dry. Removal of debris and weed growth from the base of trees will aid in earwig control.
I hear they taste like chicken

I hate bugs. The other day I saw a cockroach in my kitchen sink and then a day later I saw a centipede in my house. I killed both. Earlier today I captured two moths is a mason jar that were flying around in my house. I let them go outside.

Moths rule. We caught a moth the size of a small pancake a few days ago, the thing was serious...probably a descendant of Mothra.

Earwigs are one thing, but those creepycrawly bugs that scurry around in the dark, brownish looking with a shitload of hair strands covering their body, and run like a bat outta hell when it sees a foot coming down on it, whatever those things are called, always scare the shit out of me.
I hate when things like these don't just run around on the ground so you can step on it and crunch it, but run around on the walls or the ceiling. Then you gotta pick it up with a napkin and crunch it inbetween your fingers. No one should have to go through that. I hate insects.

I think you're talking about millipedes. Those aren't hair strands but legs! A thousand of them! They're the worst.

No wait millipedes have short legs I just learned thanks to Wikipedia. I don't know what you're describing are called but I've had them in my house before and I fucking hate them.

Actually I think Silverfish are something else. They look like this:

They don't have all the long strands of hair/legs that mellowrubberduck describes.

On wiki I looked up silverfish, and the first picture on the top right, if the body wasn't black but brown and hairy, that could probably pass as the insect. Every time I turn my bedroom light on (usually twilight hours) it bolts across the room trying to get into any kind of wood furniture. Oh, we will find out the name of this turd.

Some millipedes are hallucinogenic. I saw a program on tv and these monkeys were tripping out on them and falling out of their tree's lol
Quote:
Monkeys in Florida Get High on Millipede Hallucinogen
http://www.shortnews.com/shownews.cfm?id=24260&CFID=4417381&CFTOKEN=96553521 A species of millipede which originated in the West Indies but has recently appeared in parts of South Florida seems to have a hallucinogenic effect on Monkeys. The monkeys "bite the millipedes, then reach behind their backs and rub it on their fur." "Their eyes glaze over and they're completely focused on what they're doing" said the head of the primate conservation group based at the Monkey Jungle, a Miami-Dade tourist attraction. He likens it to the way that cats react to catnip. Monkeys even pass the bugs around, five members of a monkey family shared a millipede and they turned into a "writhing mass." So now when they see primates rolling around at the bottom of their cage caretakers know they are just under the influence.
Quote:
http://www.pvmirror.com/nature/potions.html
For its part, the brown lemur of the Isle of Madagascar appears to enjoy the little bites it gives millipedes with its lips. It turns out that every time the lemur bites the millipede, it is stimulated because the latter releases a toxic compound based on cyanide, as a means of self-defense. The primate uses this to fumigate its own fur coat, thus keeping free of parasites and malaria-carrying mosquitoes. But besides helping to get rid of parasites, the compound also has a narcotic effect on the lemur that can last for as long as 20 minutes, and which manifests itself as an expression of happiness: The eyes pop out, the head droops and the lemur is on another plane, away from reality.
Something similar is practiced by South American Capuchin monkeys, but instead of making this activity a solitary one like the lemur, it becomes an entire social event. Groups of up to four monkeys get a hold of a millipede, giving it little bites to stimulate the secretion of the narcotic and then pass it along to the next monkey in line. Like human drug addicts, the monkeys are taking a big risk with their health when they indulge in this practice because the cyanide produced by the millipede is highly toxic and carcinogenic.

I see a silverfish in my bath tub about once a year. Not sure how they get there - they do seem to like water though.

I had a silverfish in my room once. Fucking creepy bastards! And fast! I hate bugs and creepy crawlies, that is the ultimately scary one, too. They look like mix between spiders and cochroaches, two things I hate the most!!

I think that the one in that top image is cool looking.
I don't mind them too much. For some reason I do hate roaches though. Spiders don't bother me too much until they get under my covers, while I'm trying to sleep.

I'm not so bad with bugs until they are in your home. Because then you wonder how many are lurking around the corner, and this opens your thoughts up to the possibility that your whole house is infested with these creepy fuckers (it prolly is), and when you're sleeping at night, what's stopping them from getting snug with you? Creeps me the fuck out.
