Bugs I hate


Giant, terrifying, buzzing moths are no doubt the scariest bug. I see these things and freak out. One attacked me last night, and it caused me to look over my shoulder for the rest of the night. They aren't my least favorite though, that honor goes to the house centipede. I woke up with one of these crawling in my ear once, and started crying. It was horrific. I still feel disgusting thinking about it. Gahhh.You see this picture? Why do these things exist? You know, the weird thing is, I don't mind spiders. Not at all. Unless it's super poisonous, I say, "Let 'em be." But whenever I see one of these nasty son-of-a-bitches I grab a broom, shoes, baseball bat, etc., and go to town smashing them to bits. What's worse, is they live a long time. Seven years. And they have an average of 63 babies a year. Let me break that down for you. In seven year, two centipedes have 63 babies. Half of those sixty three (assuming they are split male/female) have 63 babies, along with the original pair's sixty three. That's 2,050 centipedes... in two years. In the third year there are 66,611 centipedes. In the fourth year there are 2,164,865. The fifth? 70,358,124. And the sixth? 2,286,639,049. How would you like to be seven years old and have over two billion great-great-great-great grand kids?


So, whenever you have the chance, kill them. Because for each one you kill you are keeping millions, literally MILLIONS off the globe in a minor four years.

In closing, I am scared of moths. Why are they so frightening? They're hairy insects, and they can fly. They just look freaky. But I hate centipedes. Whenever I see one, I want to puke. That is all.
