Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
the bug site says Palmetto bugs are only in the deep south and the other things that are like them are American roaches.
I guess I'll look locally to see if anyone has it, then I'll seek out hardware stores in the more whole foody neighborhoods. I bet the hardware store by my brother has it.

“Not dead yet!”
Big ass flying roaches are palmetto bugs. No matter where I'm at, Palmetto bugs I learned them as, Palmetto bugs are what I kill. With great glee and relish.
(I have to be the roach killer in the household-- Lewis can't deal with them. However, he's much better at coping with snakes. I'm a total Indiana Jones about the snakes.)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
cockroaches...flashing neon saying "Eat at Joe's"
Y'all have probably avoided the movie Joe's Apartment. I did originally, then I happened across it while channel surfing, and it was surprisingly good, funny, and not so creepy/crawly/icky.
And who didn't love Wall-E's cockroach sidekick?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I actually quite liked that movie!
"Fellow cockaroachies, we must save Joe!"
Now that I know these are wood roaches that don't breed indoors, the gross, greasy, filthy feeling I have is gone. Sorta.

Arachnophobia was less horrifying and more funny than I expected, too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have to tell you, this discussion was confusing me immensely. I thought that by waterbugs, you meant waterbugs. Which I'm sure you wouldn't want in your home. [link]

Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek opens with a long and horrifying discussion of the water bug.

Says you!
I actually have to cover my eyes for the last part of the Land of the Lost trailer with the giant bugs. Despite the horrid CGI.
