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...

I don't need to identify it--if it's a bug, I kill it!

Bugs are one event in which I am, most regrettably, a girly-girl - either I scream for D. or the cats!

If I had to wait around for someone else to kill 'em, they would never get killed.
