Zombie bugs!!

[ellenmillion]

Oh GOD, we've been invaded! They are these horrible, horrible beetle things that are striped like bees and have that horrible loud beetle buzz when they're flying around and there've been three of them in the house and I had to kill the last one myself because Jake is gone and I thought it was dead, but came back and it was upright again and an inch away from where I left it and OH GOD IT WAS STILL ALIVE and I had to kill it AGAIN until it squished and I had to make myself pick it up with a papertowel and seal it into the trash and now every little flutter makes me flinch and I keep feeling THINGS at my toes and they won't die and they'll eat my face while I'm sleeping!!!!

*panting*

Sorry.

That probably TOTALLY killed my tough, Alaskan, can-do, girl-power image.

But... zombie beetle things! That won't die! Eeeeeeee!

I don't seem to have an icon that suits this post, so I'm using this one because I'm going to start carrying that wrench around with me to squish zombie bugs.

Weird! I think zombie beetle things can be the exception to the tough, Alaskan, can-do, girl-power image :)

Well, at least since it's an Alaskan zombie bug, it's probably not poisonous. Probably...

GAH!

I. Hate. Bugs.
I feel your pain. Um, suggestion: suck em up in the vaccum ... That way you don't have to get too close to them! *Though recently I've resorted to drowning my bugs in buckets of RAID ... and then of course mopping down the kitchen floor and such so as not to poison the dog who likes to lick the floor and would most surely decide that RAID tasted good*

It's nice to see you ARE human!! LOL Seriously I understand living in Florida. Why can't the world just be bug free??

Poor things have probably been made homeless by the forest fires. Beetles are pretty tough, I tend to just catch bugs and critters with a glass and a sheet of cardboard and put them outside.

Junebugs? We have those big old beetles and they're freakin loud. My cats love chasing them all over the house since they're like a toy that never dies.

Well.... no. Maybe, um. fleshed it out a bit.

sorry!

(I have the same reaction to cockroaches, which luckily are very rare in Vermont. On the other hand, I'm not so power-cool, being too ... um... something.)
