What's the biggest bug you've ever killed?

[Zorander]

Click bugs are awesome! They're super fun to play with.

Any of you seen a walking stick? I've seen one in my life, but they're pretty cool

Hey! I saw at least two of them recently in my garden, only that they are brown in colour and nearly indistinguishable from the rose bushes they were hiding in. I only noticed because their stick bodies had no thorns and stood out from the roses.

But now I know what they are called and I'm glad I left them alone.

How can that things ass-stinger not be plowing through that dudes hand?

It's probably an egg tube. The correct name escapes me atm.

Ovipositor.

Seriously, bobdole369. Crickets don't have stingers.

Walking sticks are EXTEMELY common (around here, anyway). You probably just don't notice them very often.

...they're not really as long as they look. Part of that length is some leg-arms that they usually hold that way so it makes them appear longer. I've seen mantis specimens that looked more like walking sticks than mantises (mantids?), and they did the same thing with the fore-limbs. My class dubbed it the "straw mantis."

I was in the bathroom in one the University structures, had just finished my business and this 4" long 1" wide (I shit you not) cockroach scurried across the floor out of nowhere. Had to solidly stomp the thing 3 times before it stopped moving.

Seen 'em around here too. For some reason, ignorant people call them "waterbugs" as if they're not just some variety of cockroach. A waterbug is large and could be mistaken for a cockroach, but these are obviously not waterbugs.

we have the giant water bugs here and some pretty big mantids, too. Cicadas are pretty big. The biggest spiders here are those big garden spiders with the black, yellow and white on them - argiope.

 

[Locut0s]

I don't usually kill big bugs. It's the small ones I find irritating. I'd keep that thing as a pet :^D

Here too. It's kind of cute.

Why bother treating that? Gas + match.

And aside from the roaches, that bed. D:

Down in Texas, that is what big ass roaches are called, waterbugs. Everyone there calls them that. At least in the dfw area.

"Everyone" here does it too, because some ignorant dumbass got everyone started with that misinformation a long time ago. Time to put a stop to it.
