    Default Your Favorite Bug/Insect?

    Mine would be: The Praying Mantis Type.

    As for Bugs: Probably Spiders, when they are behind a cage of some sort.

    Wanna see a 6'2", 325 lb man with an axe squeal like a frightened three year old girl? All you have to do is show me a spider and I FREAK!!! (LOL, had to have three people hold me down during the Shelob scene in Lord of The Rings III). As for a favorite bug.......hmmmm....would also have to concur on the praying mantis (see a pattern developing).

    Beetles...in parts of Asia they paint em in gold, encrust them in jewels, and wear em as necklaces...while they are still alive.

    My Girlfriend keeps wanting a tarantula...though oddly enough small house spiders make her scream like a lil girl. She keeps trying to sucker me into the whole pet scorpion thing...but I draw the line at things that can STING and PINCER me.

    from what I remember, Tarantulars can live for at least around 10 to 15 years if in good health.

    On a side note: Hermit Tree Crabs can live for well over 100 years, and by then, they are much larger than lots of different types of dogs! (Used to have a photo of that years back)

    Probably Since Tarantulas are not poisonous.

    tarantulas are poisonous.. Some are more docile than others.... some even eat birds.

    I used to have a scorpion... That thing was mean as hell. I hated it. It died and disintegrated. It was a weird thing.

    spiders! i found a whole bunch of little baby spiders the other day so we went out to celebrate (to spider health everywhere) the bird eating tarantulas are sweet as hell - you can even take them out for walks (awww - imagine a randy dog having a go at that ) A freind of mine used to keep scorpions and they were kinda lovely too. but i never had to clean the tank, so i'm probably biased.

    That said i'm completely and unreasonably scared of wasps - i freak out. if i was allergic to them i could understand, but i'm not...

    one of my friends had a scorpion, and when he would shine a black light above it, the thing glowed neon blue. too strange. Im not a big fan of insects, so I will join gonesavage and say lady bugs

    If so, my mistake, I must have been thinking of some other type of spider. I used to know all about bugs and insects, but then I lost interest in them, and forgot more than encyclopedias worth of knowledge about them.

    Gonna take a guess and say you live somewhere in the southwest then. A friend of mine use to live in Arizona and had huge problems with them..he had to go on nightly "hunts" to clean the edges of the house and pathways from em. Later he got smart and sold em to people and places that wanted em.

    I've went through a bunch of milliepedes. I love them! They are soooo sweet and docile.

    I had a bad childhood experience with centipedes.. eh.

    One of my first memories as a child involves a centipede. I used to like to sleep on the floor on a bunch of blankets and my momma bein' southern and all told me I had to have it up and folded when I woke up. So... I pull the blanket up and there is a HUGE centipede crawling on the floor at an alarming speed towards me.. I screamed soooooo like a little girl. It was very traumatic. Somehow I've seemed to get over my fear of bugs.

    My little boyfriend in second grade brought me a centipede to school in a jar as a present. I thought I was gonna faint.. but I accepted it and let it go when I got home (well my dad did, I wasn't about to touch that thang!)... Boys do the silliest things.

    It's gotten kinda big...I went with the whole "Satanic Carnivale'" theme...It's quite fun coming up with characters to populate the crowd.

    Don't worry about the DVD...do what you gotta do and burn it when you can. I'm sure everyone can agree with this sentiment "Pack faster! We want you in L.A.!"

    Although they are fascinating, I hate Bees,Wasps, and Hornets.

    Btw, in Japan, they have types that are as big as Dogs.

    I'm not overly fond of any bugs. I'm scared of spiders and any other eight legged thingy, but what really terrifies me are locusts. *shudder*
    I like lady bugs and butterflies and Rolypolys (pill bugs). But I'm not too keen on any bug. I absolutly HATE Love bugs. Stuck together at the ass and EVERYWHERE! Drive thought central Fla and the front end of your car will be fuury with the damned things and their lil' buggy guts eat through the paint. I am *SO* glad I moved!
