So i was seriously blocked from getting into my own apartment tonight
for like 20min and it sucked.
You wanna know why? Well here is a picture of why, watch out its nasty!





















That bug was flying around right outside my door and would not land so I could kill it and get in. Then bam it got quiet so I walked up stairs to my door there it was on the ground so I took off my flip flop and smash i killed it, hehehehe I won!
Ewwwwwwwwwww It Was Nasty

I hate those things. We get them outside my house ALL THE TIME. Never been a real issue for me though they tend to knock themselves out as soon as they try to fly.

For those who don't know these things are BIG, I've seen them with a body size (not including the wings) from a quarter to the size of my thumb.

I believe those little bastards are responsible for the obnoxious BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ high pitched ringing noises in the trees around this time of year. They are so so so loud their noise often gets confused for 'buzzing powerlines'. Madness!

I have to call wuss on this one, even if you are a girl, lol. Nasty, maybe, but I wouldn't let it stop me from getting in the house.
