RyanJ, this is why we love and missed you so much!

I do have quite the sparkling personality.

Definitely the Jerusalem Cricket (potato bug). They look like aliens and I shudder at the though.

I was going to post a pic but I would hate it if I did that to you.

i had lyme disease too! it was awful and hit me so suddenly. i woke up one morning and literally couldn't move- my joints just wouldn't work. and i've never been so tired. scary stuff!

Roaches for sure. I will never live on the first floor of a building in a big city ever again- no matter how clean you are, they won't go away!

Oh, and wasps. They scare the crap out of me!

Silverfish. So creepy.

NCshopper · Hermes

Cockroaches are the most vile creatures on the planet. They're the worst. Oh and I think centipedes smell really bad.

RyanJ · Coach

When I went to the zoo last summer I had a centipede crawl all over my arm. It was about 4 or 5 inches long. Kind of neat.

Yup, same thing for me too. It was awful. I still panic if I feel tired and achy.

Did you get the bullseye? I didn't!

This bad boy

I have seen these about 5 times in my life. It was so disturbing and so rarely seen that it was almost like a suburban legend for the children in my neighborhood. We called it the pickle bug.

Roaches. So sick. In Costa Rica I saw one the size of my fist. Luckily it was dead, but some fourteen year old boy put it on a stick and chased me around with it and I almost started crying. It was super traumatizing and I was eighteen at the time.

i didn't get the bullseye either! so at first my doctor was like, "well it can't be lyme disease because you don't have the typical bullseye rash." but since i had every other symptom associated with lyme disease, they put me on the antibiotics right away. and sure enough, i felt better within a few days!

is it true that you carry the disease for the rest of your life? i've heard that before.
