Potato bugs (not pill bugs) are the scariest damn creatures.

[WarCon]

I had always know that Potato Bug as a Jerusalem Cricket (its called both I have found out) and things I called potato bugs were pill bugs all this time.

This page debunks some myths about the Camel Spider, but proffers the following data:

Don't piss one off, Camel Spiders can run 10MPH. Can you?

Camel spiders are nocturnal, when they do come out in the day they have followed people to stay in their shadow.

Although the rumors of "eating the faces off of sleeping G.I.'s in the desert" are bogus, they do hunt for stuff for their burrows and there have been numerous reports of people finding these things in their hair when they wake up.

Considering these things have teeth like this... the potato bug doesn't really concern me much

I don't trust any site that tells me that a camel spider is a cross between a spider and a scorpian. They are 2 different things and cannot have sex with each other and reproduce.

thank god these bugs are little and we are big...

 

[djheater]

pillbugs are isopods, and they've got nothing on thier underwater cousins

potato bugs are not pillbugs. Pillbugs don't burrow deep enough to get to potatos and I think that potato bugs do.

Reading comprehension, duder:
they are solifugids -- sort of a cross between a spider and a scorpion.

"Sort of" != "is"

They are a type of spider but have a lot in common with a scorpion.

ran to the garage to get a shovel and a bazooka just in case....i whack it with the shovel and all i here is a loud ping and the damn thing is still walking...AAHHHHH die you bastard spawn from hell!!!!

finally used the shovel to cut it in half and whacked a few dozen times more just in case

those are some tough bastards to kill...and damn crunchy when you finally hit them right and they turn to mush.

i swear as i walked away i could feel it looking at me...still moving and signaling the rest of them to attack me later as a slept

nasty ugly looking things...no wonder they call them ninos de la tierra, children of the earth in spanish

anyone that doesnt know what im talkign about look here and go to the picture section

Click me

You must have girly arms.

Ah, but I change hands each day! Yes, if used only one arm all the time, while I was masturbating vigorously, then I'd be fvcked . . ..

Oh, BTW, you're a dumbass.

 

[CTho9305]

<-- wonders what monitor size and resolution the "actual size" pic of a potato bug here is supposed to be viewed at.

From that air force site:

Chemicals such as bug sprays are not recommended as they most likely will do nothing but make the spider angry, said officials.

:Q

 

[BooGiMaN]

Reading comprehension time for you:

Quote

"Camel spiders are common throughout Southwest Asia and can be found almost anywhere. They are actually a cross between a spider and scorpion, and can grow up to 6 inches long. (Courtesy photo)"

That states they are some type of hybrid. The fact is it is a spider with an oddly shaped body.

Check out the whip scorpian. It isn't a scorpian at all.

 

[ElFenix]

thats pretty gross

 

[abaez]

I hate stepping on these things, it's a really sick crunch and LOTS of juice and guts come out. Grrrr I'm mexican and they are known as nino de la tierra like the website says...

Bugs rule.

And I can think of many insects more scary than a docile Isopod(potato bug, pill bug, whatever).

Edit: WTF is that thing you're talking about?! :Q I looked at the pic in the first post, and that's definately not what we call potato bugs......
