A belated birthday to idragosani! May the next decade be as good as the last!

public service announcement re: insects

At Metafilter I found the lovely link What's That Bug?, a repository to help you identify the crawly critters with whom you may unwillingly share your home. If it's not in the galleries, send 'em a pic and they'll try and identify it for you. Favorites (if you can call them that. Highlights, maybe?): camel crickets (had these in the basement of my childhood home - they easily jump several feet and are so leggy that they're just nasty. I always took the dog when I went down there because she liked chasing them) and the feline delicacy, the house centipede.

Given my aversion to bugs, I sure have an unhealthy interest in them...
