Hey ATOT, identify this bug that attacked me

[Agentbolt]

I woke up and felt like there was something crawling on me. You know the feeling, where it might be a very small bug or it might just be an errant hair that got bent or something.

Anyways, so I poke at the feeling, and yep, it's a bug, crawling around on my chiseled abdomen like it's an amusement park or something. I immediately squeezed it between two fingers and brought it to my desk for a closer look, all the while the thing madly fighting it's inevitable demise. I ended up smooshing it with mostly full travel-sized bottle of Purell.

But anyways, what is this bug, besides

A) Dead
B) Gutsy as hell for messing with me

Bug

Yes, it's dead in that picture. You don't negotiate with terrorists, people.

A speck of dust that would make you sneeze is more harmful than that thing.

Unless you know what "that thing" is I suggest you keep your witticisms to yourself, sir.

Nicely done!

I'm kind of sad I killed it now, apparently it's harmless. Well, except to Maple, which is what my desk is made out of. Maple's that wood that starts to flake off at the edges immediately after buying it, right? And one side looks like stained hardwood and the other side looks like cardboard? God I'm poor.

Good thing the OP killed it before it was able to eat his wood.

Or maybe that would have been a good thing.

one of the most harmless and pretty useless bugs I have seen. They are all over the place down here in FL

I see them all the time here. Couldn't give you the name but I've had them crawl on me plenty of times when I go in the woods.

Yeah, that's called particle board.. with a faux maple veneer. 😉

Yeah that was kind of the joke I was going for.
