A few years ago in my old apartment, I saw some sort of bug. It had a very thick wide body, and was about 2 1/2 inches long, and it was solid black. I couldn't find a picture of exactly what I saw, but this is somewhat what it looked like. Just imagine an overgrown cockroach on steroids..lol..

If the gators' mouth can't swallow my fist, I can deal with them. If the snake isn't a rattler or copperhead (we've got no moccasins around here), no problem. Toads? I like to play with them. Bullfrogs? PLEASE! I haven't had frog legs in years.

BUT one palmetto bug? I'm in Texas before I get that first heebeegeebee scream out of my throat. It's your FLYING roaches that keeps me away from Florida! Not your reptiles. :)

The gators are huge and want the dogs. The snakes are of every size and kind and I'm sorry they freak me out. You will get a girly scream out of me. Especially since you can't shoot them...meaning I have to get close with shovel or ace. Plus they go in the pool. No idea why but when you swim laps at 4am and don't have lights shining to bother the world and one comes up on you...Lets say so not cool. The roads are huge...dig holes usually end up floating in pool and sucked into filter. I've never seen a flying roach and I do not do roaches....ewww The so called love bugs eat the paint off your car and I rarely have palmetto bugs. All in all you get used to it and thank God for the little lizards who eat the bugs!

I did that odd little "l think there's a bug on me, and l'm in panic mode" dance , when l saw this pic.

If there was ever a bug that they could prove is from the pits of hell, this would be it.
Unreal.

I heard the centipedes in Australia were big enough to carry small children.

You heard right, brother. It's dangerous living here. The drop bears and baby-faced centipedes work together to catch their prey.

I'm still gonna visit! A bug is a bug unless it can kill me...but it's still a bug! I will have to bring a 5 foot steel swatter with collapsible arm in my carry on. Then I will be set!

Jeni, judging by some of your previous posts, I don't see you having a problem handling any of the animals here. :)

Before hubby was hubby, he was stationed/going to photography school in Jacksonville. He wasn't sure which scared him more (in a manly, I'm-not-scared-of-nuttin' kind of way of course), the flying palmetto bug (which he said was roughly the size of a VW bug lol) or some kind of lizard that stared at him when he woke up. (I'm guessing a skink from his description.) But the palmetto bug flew at him and talked him out of ever living in Florida (in a manly I'm-not-scared-of-nuttin' kind of way again.)

My saving grace, before I met hubby and for several years in the beginning of our marriage was Bo the cat. Bo liked bugs. He thought they were delicious. Unfortunately, he liked squirrels and rabbits for the same reason. Usually the only proof we had that Bo met up with either rodent was the lone tail in the middle of our backyard. Sadly, the other proof was the time he brought hubby a squirrel for breakfast. Bo was our cat until that morning, and then he reverted back to "your cat." That squirrel was dead. The other one Bo was proudly waiting to go get for hubby was paralyzed and on our front porch.

But, man! For mice and bugs, I really miss Bo. No one had to man-up when he was around. lol

So here I am, minding my own business, just putting away some leftover corn and beans from dinner, when a big ol' house centipede comes crawling out of the pot.
For those of you who've never had the pleasure of encountering one of these:

Does anyone remember this scene from the movie "Problem Child?" Lawanda made a salad for dinner and Junior loaded it down with large roaches. Like she didn't notice that roach on her face when she took a bite of salad. lol :D
