They give me the creeps too (though or because insects are some of the most interesting denizens of the animal kingdom), but why on Earth kill these harmless little creatures (except for mosquitoes they're somewhat asking for it), just let them outside instead, it is not their fault human houses are built as animal death traps.

The only things that terrify me form the animal kingdom are these satanic bloodsuckers straight from hell! They fly uncontrollably around your head, just an inch from poked eye or a byte to the face. I can't come to trems with these fuckers. I shall join your fight if you join mine Brothers!
but that fucking buzzing noise when I try to sleep, urgh.
Very large insectoids do give me the creeps, I'm not an easily scared guy and I have no problem with any spiders or anything I encounter in daily life, but I would probably not enjoy having that 15 cm monster in the first picture on my hand like that.
Only insects I truly hate are mosquitos and horseflies. I am fine with mosquitos needing some of my blood and the bites are not so bad either, but that fucking buzzing noise when I try to sleep, urgh. Horseflies are a fucking pest whenever I go swimming in the summer, always trying to bite you. They suck at it though, they have never actually fully bitten me because it is a slow bite which gives you enough time to reflex swat them when you feel the first pain. I would not mind if someone managed to eradicate these two species.
Wait a moment, scorpions? In Europe!? waaaaaat
Though, to be honest, large insects don't bother me. I love moths and i'd be all over that giant cricket/grasshopper thing, it's a shame they only grow to about 10cm long over here :(
Large beetles are awesome!Biology would have been my 2nd choice after computer science :)(click to show/hide)
I hate smaller insects though and, though i've never really seen one IRL, i imagine a cockroach could make me lose my lunch.
My wife always sends me into battle against the ones with stingers. My cats take out all other comers. Since I do have animals, I don't like to spray insecticide around the house, and I also don't like to smash heavy things against my windows. A fly swatter against a heavily armored wasp is a joke! So if I can't get them on a wall where I can use the bottom of a slap (shoe,flip flop, sandal as some may call it), and am forced to remove them from a window, I move in and quickly grasp them with thumb and forefinger and crush them to death as fast as I can. Sometimes I get away with it, sometimes I get stung. But really, it doesn't hurt much and within a couple minutes you get that lovely adrenaline/endorphine rush mixed in along with the small speedy kick from the venom. I'm certain that some of the players from those druggie threads would enjoy it. So man up and go into battle mono y insecto, either way you are rewarded with a kill, or a unique buzzzz :mrgreen:
You sound like a guy who would enjoy this kind of thing :mrgreen:

TL;DR
Essentially these little fuckers are becoming a giant invasive species, overcoming fire ants even. Not only will they take over outdoors as the dominant ant species, they will invade your fucking homes!. Apparently they like to crawl inside of electronics and appliances and eat your shit, tv's and computers included. If they take my precious internet away from me I dont know what I would do. THEY KNOW MY WEAKNESS!
Burn. Everything. I like fire in general and I know insects dont like fire. So I just. Burn. Everything.
I asked it to leave my property, but it refused to go, and went straight for my fridge... We were peacefully coexisting with this monster, until my wife came crying one day, and told me it was making moves on her. :( When confronted, it told me, that it was twice the man i am, and if i don't know how to satisfy a women, it sure does. There was no reasoning with it! Once it got drunk on my finest Amarone, and raised it's hand on me... I got really upset, and was crying in the bathroom, until my wife came home and said she had enough of this bullshit! They were arguing for a while, then i heard glass being broken, along with intense sounds of struggle, and then my wife said it was over... She killed it with a shoe, and became my Paladin, guarding our home ever since.still better love story than twilight...

When i was a kid, i used to set fire to all sorts of stuff. Parents were afraid to leave me alone at home. I was experimenting with different flammable liquids, burned a variety of plastics, created mutant soldiers out of heated action figures and such. Burned my hand once, hard enough to get it bandaged up to my elbow, but i didn't learn my lesson that time.
What made me quit playing with fire, was that time when i took an expensive pan, and used it as a stage for burning heretics. I made a set of human-like figurines out of stiff electric wires, placed them on the pan in the middle of our living room, read their sentence, covered them with some sort of highly flammable stuff, and PUF - they went up in flames! The main issue with that little project was that the pan got heated in the process so much, that it not only got irreversibly damaged on surface, but also burned a round brown circle on the wooden floor :( My parents got really upset, and i felt terrible because of it... I think my mom was crying a lot that day, though i don't really recall it that well.
But yeah, fire is fun! I would make a good arsonist... Three things in life you can watch forever: burning fire, running water, and living organisms having sex.

I want to play this looped and very loud in some public place, like a shopping center. Lock all the doors and make it so that the speakers can't be destroyed.

I'm in CT as well, luckily the only really dangerous thing we have to worry about, as far as I know, are brown recluses and thankfully I've never seen one of those buggers. The "chinese stinkbugs" as well I've never actually smelled but they are indeed annoying in the winter but they always seem to leave here once it warms up in the spring.
We've got black widows as well, can't forget those! Although unlike the brown recluse you can actually spot them really easily, and even then I've only ever crossed paths with one once. Luckily the few things that can kill you aren't too common. I hear bears are mountain lions are making a comeback in some areas though, better watch your back... :lol:I've run across a few marble sized black widows here in socal, its a good thing they are not aggressive they only usually bite if they feel threatened like if its in your shoe or something.

Cougars and bears are easily spooked though and I don't spend as much time in the woods anymore. The only time I saw a black widow was down in North Carolina in a port-o-potty, right where your leg would be if you sat down, I just closed the stall and went to another one. Bed bugs are supposed to be making a comeback since we stopped using DDT though and I had had some at one point last year but they seem to be gone now.
