When Bugs Attack

[sparks19]

Those suckers can run REAL fast!

Our old Kitten was playing with a HUGE one & the damn thing attacked our kitten & bit her!! I had no idea they could bite.. I was mad & mashed it into the carpet & cuddled Jayed.. Mommy didn't know the bug would hurt her baby, mommy thought it would be a good idea if Jayed would start killing them things for her... That ended quickly, Jayed was scared of them after that

I didn't know they bite either.

Hehe, the imagery was priceless. But I sympathize, good deal sparks! If I saw that thing I would have done the same thing. Very gross.

I like most bugs. I used to have a couple of pet praying mantis' even! (Which I might consider again) Cockroaches and waterbugs... Are they the same thing? I kept calling one the others name in LA and was thoroughly confused mostly. At any rate, they are gross.

Anything that can crawl and especially spiders shivers just thinking about them. Give me a mouse, rat or anything like that but creepy crawlies uuuuggghhhh!!! ok have to think of something nice now

They don't bite humans - their jaws are too weak to get through human skin. I guess they could bite a kitten's ear or nose? I live in a basement have scads of 'em, and since my cat ignores them, I let them be. They eat ant eggs (and termites, but thank the Lady I haven't got those). They're sort of the ground troops to the spiders' paratroops.

The one that bit my kitten was a good 3" long (body, not legs).. it was MASSIVE! The biggest I had seen in our house!

It bit her nose & held on. Jayed screamed & pawed at it to get it off... then the mashing began...

Its always creepy how the legs keep running LONG after the bug is dead
