Creepy

[565bbchevy]

So I go in my back room where the laundry is and turn on the light and there is about a 2+ inch long centipede in my wash tub scurrying around so I grab the nearest thing that just happens to be a an old paint brush.
So then I kind of squish it on him and I lift it up to see if I killed it and just the body is laying there and I look at the paintbrush and all the legs are caught in it and are still moving like they are trying to run away without the body.

Echh... Bugs, snakes and rats are the 3 things I don't do. Here's a related story though-

I once walked into my shed where I keep my tractors, and some old machinery and it is old and not very well sealed off. I start digging through a tool box looking for a drill bit or something, and notice something move above me. As I look up there is a snake in the rafters hanging right above me. I ran out of that shed screaming like a little girl. I went and grabbed my .22 and shot it and it fell to ground. It ended up measuring a little over seven feet and it squirmed for about a 1/2 hour after I shot it. Weird and gross, lol.

Black Widows and Brown Recluse spiders. We got 'em. If you're smart, you fill up the crack in your foundations, and never stick a hand where you can't see into it. And then there's this:

And I once stepped out my front door to find one of these on my door mat. Flip through the video until you can see an ant walk under this thing. Then you get an idea how huge they are. 'Child of the Earth' is what they call them. Totally harmless but creepy.

I'm very fortunate that my house is less than 20 years old and it is very well insulated and sealed, so I don't really have any pest issues inside the house other than the occasional cob web spider or stink bug. However I still live in the middle of the Pennsylvania woods more or less, and we have a lot of deer and the Lyme's disease-carrying-ticks that come along with them. Lots of mosquitoes in the summer too. There are only two venomous snakes in PA and I've never seen either one. Garder snakes are pretty common and they can get pretty big too. Lot of field mice and raccoons. You usually won't see rats unless you go downtown. Echhh...

I live in NYC and besides the usual rats and roaches, we have opossums and raccoons! Pretty ballsy little bastards they are too.

Pack rats. Dry land beavers - they drag anything they can inside a parked vehicle and just keep pumping out the poop - one can bury the seat or floorboards in one season. No respect for human treasures!

The mice here like to do the same thing. I've found many a mice nest underneath back seats, on top of transmissions, and above headliners. They chew on wires and sh*t everywhere. Plus they reproduce exponentially. Two mice turn into twenty at the drop of a hat. They are disgusting too. If you don't believe me on that, look up 'hantavirus'.

That "Child Of The Earth" looks a lot like the Jerusalem Cricket's we have around Northern Nevada. And then there's the thousands upon thousands of Mormon Crickets in the late summer, driving real slow on the highway once there was a huge group of them for maybe an 1/8th mile. Sounded like popcorn

In Idaho, I drove through a cloud of 'Love Bugs' - they attach together at their tails and fly around together. In hordes. It was so bad, my wipers on high with the washer switch held 'on' couldn't keep up with the smearing mass of splats. The car needed a serious bath after that trip.

We have love bug season here. Those things are the worst, and if you don't wash them off it will destroy the paint on a car.
