While I was in Baton Rouge L.A I saw a roaches as big as baby shoes and some kind of B52 sized flying roach.Made me wish I'd had a good ol'M60 and kill every freakin bug around me.I do have a scorpion in silicone about 4 inches long.He's an ugly fucker.My nephew brought it back from Iraq.

You guys think that one is big, check out this Sombitch!




that right there is The Asian Giant Hornet! These things kill people in Japan all the time! and they swarm and are apparently more aggresive than the "africanized honeybee"

so watch out for this bugger if your anywhere in Asia!

Yeah, seen a documentary on those, they stung the reporters right through their protective gear and they had to haul ass out of that forest!

Though the question begs to be answered:

What the FUCK is it doing on your hand!?

We used to get some monsterous nasties where I lived in Australia, got used to them in the end. But it did seem as though everything was out to get you!

I had a hornet try and get in my Charger the other week when I was queuing to get into Santa Pod for the Mopar EuroNats. Thankfully the winder knob didn't fall off this time when I frantically tried to close the window!

Apparently UK has been taken over by a more aggressive type of common wasp. The reason we are seeing less of them than before is because they nest higher up in larger trees, but they are more likely to sting you if you piss them off than the ones we used to get.

Got in my car yesterday, closed the door and there was this dining needle (dragonfly) that started to go ballistic, bouncing off me and everything else in the car. I don't know what kind of damage they can do, if at all, but almost lost my body functions trying to get fuggin door open.

:ROTF:

DragonFlys can't hurt you bro

It died in the jar!! It lived about 2 1/2 days and then I forgot about it. I can still set fire to him or blow him up or whatever, but I don't think it'll be as fun.

DragonFlys can't hurt you bro

There was no time to think about that. Just grab my peepee and get outa the friggin car.:ROTF: :ROTF:

Yeah, they only fly for a limited time though...which is good. They are harmless, but I am scared shitless of roaches...I really fucking hate them...and they are everywhere during the warm months, which is most of the time.

That giant Hornet would probably cause an instant coronary if it landed on my fucking hand.

Fuck that.

I would loose control of all bodily functions if the fucker landed on me!

[horns666]

Holy Baby Jesus and Mary..WTF are you doing!!!

[Emthrax]

I can't believe not one person cracked a "WASP" joke. Hahahahaha!
Those are some uhgly bees. Ick.
They must sound like cargo planes, you need some heavy artillery to bring those mofos down.

[npacheco]

OK, just for Em...(sorry in advance that it is corny)...

You shouldn't be afraid of any of these bugs in this thread. In fact, if you take the time to listen to them, you'll hear them say, "I Wanna Bee Somebody." Of course, if one does sting you, be careful if you live in Waco or El Paso because you could be Blind In Texas and the W.A.S.P will get the nickname Widowmaker
