Potato bugs are just misunderstood. The entire time we played cards that night, it didn't try to bite us, it just sat there moving it's head from side to side sometimes. The worst problem was my cat kept trying to get it.

I'm not sure it is possible to misunderstand ugly.

I think most people think bugs are ugly. I have been studying bugs for years now. They aren't ugly to me. They are quite fascinating. They probably think we humans are ugly.

I've always called those roly polies personally

At the Cosmopolitan pool today there was a huge black insect flying right towards me. I dont know if it was a beetle or what, but it was huge and had a deep buzz. I always assume a flying insect is a bee, I'm so deathly afraid of bees that I once jumped out of a moving car (15 mph) when I noticed one flying inside. I'm especially terrified of bees here in LV since they are african killer bees whenever I see a bee, I get indoors as fast as I can

At least Las Vegas doesn't have red fire ants like Florida. Or do they? Do fire ants live out here? God those bites hurt

LOL...not quite there yet. I wish I could whisper for those giant roaches to go across the street and stay away from my place. Taking out the trash last night, and one was running directly for the garage. I hope Bug Bully did a good job so it dies before it gets too far.

Be glad it's only potato bugs. I was cleaning my patio today and nearly put my hand next to a massive black widow.
