There's literally nothing wrong with pseudoscorpions. Not only are they totally harmless to humans, they also help get rid of pest animals.

>>2130065
Maybe don't be such a giant goddamn pussy because most scorpions in the US are harmless.
Out of all the terrifying things the desert throws at me, these are probably the creepiest. We call them either Sun Spiders or Wind Scorpions. With their legs they get about as big as the top of a soda can. They are closely related to the camel spiders they have in the middle east. They are fiercely territorial too. No joke. These things will fucking chase you. They aren't particularly fast but they can be hard to see in the sand. The jaws on this bitch are strong and sharp enough to cut through the Achilles tendon. Let that thought sink in. They aren't like ants where they only see what's nearby either. They sneak into work a couple times a year. They will spot you across the room and make a beeline for you to fuck your shit up. I like to walk back and forth across the room watching it chase me before catching it and throwing it on an ant pile so the ants have some dinner.
We also have Scorpions, tarantulas, Jerusalem Crickets (which scream), couple venomous snakes, all kinds of scary shit. Never move to the desert. Desert sunsets are the most beautiful in the world, but it's not worth it.

Camel spiders do because the sand in Iraq is about three hundred degrees. It gets hot here but not that hot. So no, wind scorpions chase you to bite you.
>>2130101
>Don't they do that to hide from the sun in your shadow
Yes.
>>2130095
Sun spiders and camel spiders are the same thing. They're an arachnid called solifugids and are distantly related to spiders. They have no venom, rarely bite and are harmless. They run towards people to get in their shadow and escape the hot sun which also exposes them to predators. Have a quick browse of their wiki page, there's a tonne of bullshit and urban legends about them so be careful.
>>2130102

Whatever makes these holes
>>2130102
Crane flies/daddy long legs/mosquito Hawks do NOT eat mosquitoes. They are in the family Tipulidae, and most adults live such short lives that they do not eat at all in the adult stage.
Good on you for being rational, though. Many people are irrationally afraid of even those invertebrates that they see every day.
Sorry. Entomologist moment :)
>>2130468
>>2130103
Solifugids (what most call "camel spiders/scorpions" or "sun spiders") do no such thing. Stop making assertions that you can't back up.
So many bugs have terrible, inaccurate reputations among the uninformed (no offense) just because of how they look. If that thing was pink and fluffy with sparkly eyes, no one would be going around claiming it disembowels camels and chases people to bite them. What evolutionary advantage is there to chasing something bigger than you anyway, lol.
Certain tarantulas, on the other hand, apparently DO chase people. Stromatopelma calceatum is one such example, pic related. I know keepers who have claimed such behavior of their adult specimens, and my young ones were certainly no angels.

>>2130138
Is that so? How do you know? I breed tarantulas and can definitely imagine my smaller ones consuming ants, though the ant would definitely be able to put up a fight.
Generally, tarantulas can consume anything small enough that is penetrate by their fangs.
I'm the bug bitch. Time to correct everyone's sins.
>>2130341
Have you been bitten? Their mouth parts (chelicerae) are known to be among the strongest of the arachnids, so I would be very interested to hear your experience. If you have, please tell me every little detail lol.

>>2130479
I'm not exactly an invertebrate expert.
How small do tarantulas come that ants, of all things, can be a decent food source?
>>2130523
This is a funny misconception. A lot of tarantulas are smaller than common shit you see everywhere like some Hogna or Eratigena species.
Granted I imagine medium-sized ones are more popular among keepers and breeders.

Tarantulas are born small and grow large. As another poster said, some do not grow particularly large. The range is significant: from nearly 1 inch to 10, depending on species and sex, at maturity.

Bees won't do that, because they have no interest on being in your room.
Ants will do that though. Also killing spiders is dumb.
>>2130691
If they had no interest they wouldn't be in my room in the first place. And I've tried throwing them out the window, they just come back.

You're giving them too much credit. Flying insects are dumb and end up in a lot of weird places they have no business being. is this happening at night? If its brighter inside than it is outside they will keep flying in, because they see light and think they are heading outside.
>>2130699

If you're talking about the "house centipede," (Scutigera coleoptrata), they're incredibly common where I live (Minnesota, USA). I find them on what seems like at least a monthly basis in my home, their favorite places being bathrooms and storage rooms. Not sure about the "kept as pets in Japan" thing, but this prolific myriapod is definitely found in Asia and many other places. Practically the American Cockroach of centipedes lol.

I guess what installed the pseudo-trauma was finding out they have a knitting-needle-thick solid proboscis that can puncture skin easily.

>>2130038
If you have them in your house you learn to recognize them pretty quickly, they have pretty distinctive stances and movement patterns to other spiders.
I don't really mind them, but my mom does. Shoo them away whenever i can, so mom won't kill them. They're helpfull - kill roaches and other bugs, don't carry any diseases.
i've had a wierd case where my place would get instantly swarmed by tiny little flies the moment i brought bananas in.
and they only ever went for bananas, i've left apples, pears, oranges, strawberries, and grapes lying out on the open for days, even to the point where they went bad and they got completely ignored. at one point i had a pile of slowly decomposing apple husks lying in the bin and not a single fly on them, meanwhile the fresh banana on my desk is getting dogpiled by a swarm of the little fuckers.
even meat out of the fridge didn't get much attention, especialy with a banana around.
but they only ever went after the bananas so i simply stopped eating those.
a shame really, i like bananas.

I wouldn't mind these shits if they looked like those normal brownish centipedes you can find in your garden and stay small, but their legs are fucking creepy and can grow as long as fingers. And they fucking sprint along the floor and up walls and can fall on you from the ceiling. Why the fuck can they run fast with that many legs?
Maybe I'm just a faggot, but I pretty much hate the spring/summer evenings because of these shits

>eating one in front of me
I read this post with both hands clutching my face white-knuckled.

>>2131414
>>2131420
Doesn't actually puncture skin, it just feels like a pinch. I picked up one still in the babby stage and held it and he promptly mistook me for a tree and latched on with his little claws and I felt a sharp pinch which I assume was his proboscis. I would collect them all the time and put them all over my arms to scare my mom as a kid and they never hurt me tho.

Fuck you. You know there exists a spider that can give you a four hour long painful erection and then kill you with just a bite, right?

Yes actually because most small things that are poisonous enough to actually cause damage to us also usually cause death as well, and since we are at the top of the food chain, but yet still prone to insects and hidden creatures such as snakes, yes it's natural.

I worked at a liquor store and they would always swarm around broken bottles of really sugary things
Bees and Wasps.
I can't sleep with my window open because I'll always wake up to a single bee or wasp buzzing around the room like a retard.
im terrified of these things
i dont even know why im in this thread
>Thank fuck i live in the UK the thread
only have to deal with house spiders mostly, however in the summer we get swarms of ladybugs which are fucking annoying
motherfucking bedbugs
how can i kill them effectively?
>>2138086
That's like coming into a thread where people discuss their allergies and posting "yeah I've got AIDS it's pretty bad too, anything I can do about it?".
>>2137342
Saw two of these when I moved in my current apartment six months ago, I'm curious to know what species it is too. Those faggots freaked me the fuck out too, I'm not really used to seeing spiders bigger than coins (legs included) where I live.
>>2138253
>had to kill
You didn't. They are completely harmless, even helpful. People who kill small animals for arbitrary reasons are far more terrifying.

The big funnel webs and shit that come into your house just fine with me. Total bros even. But these fucking things

Yes i love the zebra spiders, saw a cute one yesterday, one of the few jumping spiders i see here in the netherlands.

The only cool spiders we get in the UK are those zebra jumping spiders they are such dudes.

That legit looks like a brown recluse, how big was it? Here's a pic for reference. Holy shit dude.

I have a heat gun I purchased specifically for eliminating spiders. The agreement is they stay outside of my house, once they come inside their destiny is liquification. I will not share a space with something that crawls into my space and then bites me when I accidentally happen upon it.
last year I didn't notice one had dropped an egg sack in the corner of the ceiling above my stairs. I came home one day to see my ceiling invaded by spiderlings, I swear I killed hundreds of them.
that day wasn't as bad as the time when I was living in an apartment and something had died in the air duct. I woke up one morning to find my entire apartment wall to wall infested with sarcophagid flies that had found their way out through my vent.
On that day devine vengeance took the form of a rolled news paper

Kek, completely accurate.

ABSOLUTE KEK
There was this one time I was sitting on a park bench thinking to myself hey isn't this EEEASSYY
No I was sitting on a bench and saw a huge wasp-looking thingy stab a cicada in mid-air and they both crashed and it was awesome.
>if even so much as a fly enters my domain my cat will hunt the ever loving fuck out of it
only down side is she eats her prey
okay with flies but god forbid a spider finds its way in
>>2137029
if I could resurrect hitler and bring the entire might of the fourth reich to bear on the development of an airborne anti-mosquito megaphage I would pull the trigger and genocide every species of mosquito on the planet, I really would
absolute worst case scenario imaginable is we have to put out more bird seed on sundays, I don't give a shit what you 9/11 truther natgeo vegan new agers have to tell yourself, the removal of one of the most ubiquitous and prolific disease vectors in the history of our planet is worth the cost
>hurr transmission of bloodborne disease is nature's population control
get absolutely fucked, if you're this worried about population control invest in chinese munitions manufacturers. the africans who are so far behind the rest of the world as to be threatened by the mosquito could sure use the ammo for their weekly genocide-coups
if our society doesn't wipe the mosquito from existence our development will have resulted in a complete net loss and every one of us from the beginning of time to the end deserves an eternity in hell for our failure

You're a hero anon.
>>2139546
Can you include crane flies in your worthy and noble crusade, sir anon?
>>2133352
That motherfucker and his combiner friends were a bitch to transform. Specifically transforming the Rhinoceros beetle and linking it to the Cicada's body.
>>2129781
currently having an infestation with these, they exploded at one point and there was twenty visible in the kitchen during daytime but since then they have just disappeared and died one by one. of course a broom is a good tool for them.
>>2130714
I don't mind the legs, but ever since I saw that gecko webm their neck fangs trigger something horrible in me.

Nigga I lived in upstate new york for four years, literally just walk through a field right now and you'll see tons of stuff.
My phone's starting to look like a cheap knockoff of natgeo because of it, like seriously are you even trying?

great apes*
I know all great apes are technically also monkeys, but it still feels a bit awkward to call them that.
Generally, great apes are pretty cool and chill. I'm not too fond of chimps and humans, though.
Pic related is by far the most majestic great ape.
>>2134319
I live in NJ and last year while hiking I saw tons of 4 inch long millepedes walking along the forest floor
Maybe you're just not looking for cool creatures well enough. Go take a walk in your woods.
>>2130063
Used to pull them apart in school and trap them in bottles etc.
Teaching assistant asked me why I was doing it and if I would like it to happen to me, and I got pretty embarrassed.
>>2140473
That TA sounds like a jackass.
>hey don't hurt that pest bug, how'd you like it if you got brutalized, you meanie-bo-beanie
Hate fags like that.
>>2131906
In this case, the only Mosquitoes that suck, are the Females. The male Mosquitoes are pretty chill, and only drink flower nectar. Meanwhile, the bitches can also eat flower nectar, but the pieces of shit drink blood anyway. The trade of to drinking blood, is that it contains more protein, and thus leads to healthier offspring.
>>2133836
What's a cat going to do door to these birds who are outside, Anon?
>>2140796
Are you vegan? If not, you have no room to talk shit about mosquitos, because they are firmly in the same camp as us as far as "can survive without meat but eats it anyway".
>>2129690
I had those as pets until they all died 1 month into receiving them
>>2133649
These are in my house, fuck them so hard jesus christ
>>2140831
>IM VEGAN, GIVE ME A MEDAL, IM SO MORAL AND GREAT
Fuck off
>>2141408
I'm not vegan at all. I meant it is retarded to bitch at an animal for doing pretty much the same thing.
I think they're cool and all, but I fucking hate finding these things in my home.
ur alredy ded tier:
wasps and hornets
ants
spiders in the house, outside spiders i admire. i like spiders, but invariably there is not enough to eat in the house except me. im too lazy to capture and release.
flies also ded unless i lose them.
i pretty much only kill wasps outside. i live in eastern washington so its not too bad.
hey bug haters, move somewhere cold and you wont see shit.
side note i had epic battles with a funnel web and a brown recluse. silver dollar sized. i just play fight with them, brooms are their natural predator haha. sweep them around and suddenly the broom is spider hitler and they pose and bite the fuck out of it. funnel web was smart and went around, and managed to run to good hiding spots.. impressive.
>>2130649
>Spiderbro
>>2138086
You won't be able to kill them alone. I have had to fight bedbugs and it is the absolute worst. Aside from actually calling a bugman like you need to, you can:
-Cover your entire mattress, and box spring in a bedbug cover. This will isolate them until they die (they live 9+ months without food)
-Get the feet of your bed on floor 'interceptors.' These things trap the bugs on their way up to you. Bedbugs cannot fly or crawl up smooth surfaces, like plastic.
-Move your bed away from any walls or surfaces.
-This goes without saying but wash your sheets and dry them on the hottest setting you can get away with.
This will at least create an 'island' that they can't reach when you're sleeping. Bedbugs are attracted to carbon dioxide emitted by humans.If you want to make a trap, there's guides online on how to create a bedbug trap that emits carbon dioxide using yeast for bread.

My house used to be infested with camel crickets until they were all murdered without mercy.
I haven't found one in like a year and a half.

This fuckers, every now and then one gets inside and i have to go carefully trying to knock it down because if i step in it the room will smell horrible for a ling time.
>Clean your house
My house is clean but every time a heavy rain happens they come out the sewers, and for whatever reason there are always a lot in my street.
Also rats have starting to become a problem, i tried gifting poison to my neighbors but they dont want it because they have pets.
>>2143844
Also fuck spiders posted in this thread, i fear of touching the screen with most of then, im glad i only have to deal with small rats.
Pic related, chill rat.
Out of shit I have to deal with:
You're cool you can stay
>spiders with a web already set up

I appreciate you but you are not wanted inside of this house
>bigger spiders that run around

I don't like you you are unwelcome/unfortunate and for that you will meet a swift end

what a waste of quints
I just got home to find this fucking thing on my floor. Ive never seen this monster before. Anyone know what it it.
dont usually mind bugs but this thing freaks me out.

Ahhhh, I know that's a nymph of something but I forget what. Looks like a dragonfly but they're almost exclusively aquatic.
