To piggy back on my earwig post; I was just about to take a nap, comfy side sleepy pose. I felt something tickling my neck and thought it was my hair moving around from the fan but nooooo, it was a massive crane fly! A skeeter eater! WTF with the bugs all over me?!

I shall now be known as Pepper, mother of insects or Pimienta, madre de insectos

Now excuse me while I freak out dance again...

hay at least it's not a scorpion!

I've been stung by scorpions 3 or 4 times in bed. Makes pretty difficult to get back to sleep.

@Sticks48 yikes!! i haven't yet.. they have been in my neighbor's bed and thier shoes...i always knock my boots out just to make sure.

@SeeCanU When it is really hot down here they really like to come inside.

@Sticks48 you ever run across one of these? it was in my truck bed after camping out on the guadalupe... dono which i'd rather have - a scorpion in my bed or this thing.... @pepperjones at least it wasn't one of these, huh?

@SeeCanU Yes ! We killed two of those in my brothers house. Those are bad boys. I will definitely take scorpions over those giant centipedes.They will hurt you big time.

@Sticks48 i didn't even know they got that big around there... that thing was FAST too...like copperhead fast.

@SeeCanU They are quick. If one gets on your skin and you knock them off, all those legs will take some skin with them. It happened to a friend of my dads.

@pepperjones Yes, way!

@pepperjones lol! Maybe you should move to the mountains in Colorado or northern New Mexico. I have lived in both places, and the only insects l saw there were the common house fly. Just a thought. ☺

Peppermint and wormwood are some solutions. My daughter uses this because she is allergic to normal stuff never gets bitten.

More trauma... Sorry to hear that. We have a lot of crane flys here this time of the year. They seem to get in the house whenever you go in or out of the house. They are harmless but I understand that having one land on you when you least expect it can freak you out... especially after the earwig incident!

The most dangerous insect in the word is the mosquito. As you are becoming a bug authority I am sure you know this. Dr. Bonner peppermint soap. The aroma is terrific & your bugs....I mean the bugs will exit mui pronto. =0}

Could be worse, could be one of those huge Palmetto Bugs we had in South America. My wife wanted to check out of our hotel in the middle of the night because she got up for a glass of water and saw a particularly big one, I said no way, wait until morning, then there was gunfire in the park across from the hotel and I said absolutely not moving until the sun comes up and that settled it. If you have never been to Cali, Colombia then you should count yourself lucky.

@pepperjones Our first night in Cuenca, Ecuador my wife and I went out for a walk around town to find some place to have dinner. One of these Caliper Beetles flew right into her forehead and then got tangled in her long hair, they are so big it physically staggered her, then there was the crazy dance in order to get it out of her hair. The Caliper Beetle is about 3 inches long and an inch and a half wide, with fur on it's abdomen, an impressive insect to say the least.

@pepperjones Here's a pic, kind of nightmarish as bugs go. lol

The Pied Pepper of Pests!

You could start a business leading insects away from homes. They will follow your freakout dance especially if you can dance like this:

@pepperjones ditch the perfume. use raid or something. sooner or later one of them Critters is going to get you and eat your ear off. what if you had a pet praying mantis?
