Behold the Atomic Mutant!!!!!

[featherynscale]

Some of you may remember the dread tale of the Atomic Mutant Insect - Horror From Another Dimension. As it turns out, this Thing was not the only Thing of its kind. They also have them in New Mexico, where kittenpants discovered a deceased specimen and photographed it for scientific purposes. So take a look (If You Dare!) and see if you know what the hell this thing is.

On our side?

We've had to deal with centipedes in our house(s) way too much. We've had them come get us in the living room, and at our old house they'd even venture onto the kitchen counter. I think I'm more inclined to coexist with the spiders; the spiders we have are less likely to go after us than the centipedes are. The centipedes are also way too big and fast for my comfort. *shudder*

Spiders vs. Centipedes

In our house, the spiders are actually more unwelcome than most of the other inspects. This is because we believe they are responsible for most of the bites while we sleep... we've actually developed a false entomology etymology for them based on "ass-biters"...

However, since getting the sonic dispersers, all biting seems to have stopped, and the bugs at least stay out of the bedrooms, with the exception of pillbugs which are apparently, according to featherynscale, deaf.

Yay! Glad to hear those are working out.

*Shudder* you know, now that I've seen these things, I think I would prefer cockroaches, hands down, anyday. At least those I'm familiar with and can recognize on sight.

*Shudder*

Yep, as FNS would say, you're a goddamned hero! ;)

Have fun at SPiRAL, or whatever the capitalization is for that thing... and make sure FNS does too!

*blush* I try :)

Yep, we had much fun at SPiRaL, and the usual crispiness. The Feast was absolutely FABU. Thanks :)
