Why Musicians Make Us Weep And Computers Don’t
So I was outside and I reached for the handle of the screen door and did I mention that is was nighttime? I almost grabbed this thing with the big pinchers … I actually went ahhhhhhhhh! & kind of screamed hahahaha
If you've enjoyed this blog, how about buying me a cup of coffee?




Don’t leave us hanging! What did you almost grab?
I wouldn’t have sorta screamed, I would have went screaming into the night. Those are some scary looking bugs. Never seen one before in real life and don’t want to.
Oh my god that is a scary-looking bug! In Tennessee this bug appeared? Wow, I think I might have remembered that guy. I kept praying mantises and crickets as pets but I probably would have been scared of that guy’s pincers!
And, thanks for the haiku link – cool!
The larval form looks even scarier: I would urinate myself if I saw one and bugs generally don’t scare me.
except centipedes
ps yep in TN — I’ve never seen one before either.
Ooh, centipedes are wicked scary! Once I killed one all by myself. Talk about hard to kill! I squashed it, sprayed it with hairspray, tried to drown it…it was like a Bruce Willis movie…Usually all I can manage is to trap them in glasses and wait for someone else to kill them.
