This is where you supply photographs of unidentified arthropods and notes like "I found this bug in my bathtub, what is it!?" Then I give you a good answer at some level and a wild guess when it comes to the species.

What kinda bug has 4 leg joints?   :lulz:

Actually, if I can find it, I have a pic of a real weird bugger, took in Nursey's back yard.

2. Cool.

I just have a skill, and I want to share it. For great justice. And tits.

Shame, I don't think I've seen a proper insect since I moved to Portland.  They were like gangbusters in Redwood City though.  Dragonflies, spiders, termite swarms, flies...

Portland, Oregon?

Because winter isn't a very insecty time of year here. It's about to get a lot more insecty.

Ok, then maybe I'll have some photos for Kai.

And interesting bite marks in unspeakable places.

I have no tits, but I'll consult with Nurse Mayhem.

The desert is insect heaven.  At least weird insect heaven.

Will get pics.

Did you see my spider bite last summer? EPIC.

The bugs here are not large, as a rule, but numerous and varied.

I don't mind spider bites, as long as they're not deadly and have the decency to do it while I'm sleeping.

It's the experience of being bitten by something that alien that really bothers me.

Have I told you about the tape worm fetishists that I found here?

Jasper

Yes.

Thanks for reminding me of that particular failure of mankind.

I exist to serve.  Have I mentioned that I found worse?

Eesh.

Anyway, I recall seeing a really weird spider down in CA, it was fat and unusual and kinda bumpy or hairy.  It was living in a wood pile.  I never saw it again, wish I could have gotten a picture.
