I think the weta is the largest cricket in the world and is only found there in NZ.

Sicirus · 09-17-2002, 05:16 PM

i went to Florida once and there were alote of these large grasshoppers(sp) that were i beleive yellow. They were scary!
Especially when I turned around and there was one sitting on the pole next to me. and when I went to a dare care center when I was about 7 I think(or aka day care center of ****) The people who were watching us saw that i was scared of moths so they put one on me. little b******.

Sicirus · 09-17-2002, 05:19 PM

oh and my dog has to take this madicen for his sickness. its called gliko flex and I always get scared to give it to him cause it smells absolutly HORRIBLE

And for some odd reason when I put the Flex into his food, he goes strait for it.

Well, I don't know about largest but yeah, something like that. Nasty huge buggers - especially the cave wetas: actually, I think the cave wetas are the largest cricket.... I remember when we went hiking up Rangitoto for a class trip (one of the bigger volcanoes - takes an hour and a half to get to the summit) and we went into the lava tunnels, and they had some sheeted glass on the ceilings, and you could SEE the giant blighters!

Starr Polish · 09-17-2002, 07:27 PM

Funny bugs should come up, because I'm afraid of the grasshopper that now lives in my room.

He somehow jumped on my shoulder without me noticing, and eventually jumped onto my bulletin board. I just saw him under my desk. He freaks me out, and I refuse to squash him because then there'd be a huge gross mess.

I named him Giovanni and I just hope he doesn't...I dunno. Do whatever grasshoppers do. Dang jumpy bugs.

Aeryn · 09-17-2002, 07:45 PM

Funny those 'little buggers' should come up because we have an infestation in our garage. they are camel back crickets or grasshoppers (can't quite remember) but they look and move like ...sp---sp---spiders *flinch* but have a huge hump on there back.

Sicirus · 09-17-2002, 07:52 PM

Speaking of infesting insects I had a praymantis(sp) problem once when one laid an egg patch on my screen door and the next spring they hatched. What a sight. We have a pic of it to.

Potheticly walking sticks scare me.

cool! finally someone who understands my fear of ceiling fans! sweet. by the way i just killed like three moths too. ick. *shudder* i am afraid either the fan will fall on me or i will reach up too high and hit it.

***Earniel*** · 09-18-2002, 05:35 AM

I'm not afraid of grashoppers, I've got a picture from when I was 7 or so with a grashopper the size of my hand on my arm.

The praying mantis used to be my favorite bug.

I saved tonnes of them out of the swimming pool when I was little.

I don't mind bugs in my room as long as I don't see them, but if I do... well, then they have to go. I don't squash them, it makes such a jucky mess. The sight of that alone makes me sick. So I catch them in little glass jars so my dad can feed them to his lizards.

I hate ceiling fans too! Even though I am short, I always duck under them when they are on. I am afraid it will chop my head off.

I fear one day I will spill HCl or similiar dangerous chemical on my hands and I won't be wearing gloves...

BeardofPants · 09-18-2002, 11:47 PM

I got sodium hydroxide in my mouth once. That was fun!

eek. scary.

BeardofPants · 09-19-2002, 12:02 AM

Nothing compared to the time I spilled HCl on my hands - they were peeling for a week! (Can you tell we had a history major for a chemistry teacher?

I've got stories.

)

Menelvagor · 09-19-2002, 12:15 AM

Brr... nasty icky spiders. There are these little brown poisonous looking ones that live is every window in my house, I'm sure. And the other night a huge (like three inches long) cockroach comes flying past my head while I'm on the computer.

Brr....

*frightened look*
I am so glad I have decent chem professors. Even if I don't like them at least I know my chances of spilling HCl on my bare hands or accidentaly consuming Sodium Hydroxide are much less...

I have taken chemistry for years and nothing bad ever happened to me. Well, I did spill some iodine on my hands and they were brown for a few days. We had to fill out safety sheets for every dangerous chemical we had to use. We had to wear coats, gloves and eye goggles. Your teacher didn't blow up the lab, BoP?

I'm glad I'm not doing chemistry anymore.
