Heh, it's from the old South. "Gallonnippers," so named because it was thought mosquitos that big must take a gallon at a time. Of course, they're not mosquitos at all (as noted above).

We have those large Crane flys in Yurop too, no panic here, but
one evening i was laying in my bed, and there was this spider at the roof, exactly
over my face! I crawled carefully from the bed, put my rubber boots on, grabbed a
a lighter and hairspray, aimed at the Spider and fire ! The Monster started to burn
and fell behind the bed, he still moved around!
I then took a bottle and squashed the spider. The spider was stuck underside of the
bottle and still moved!
I finally thrown the whole bottle from the window . So much about my love for Spiders,
i HATE them *LOL*
Such situations are always life-threatening for me, a fight for live or death no joke,
full adrenaline rush.
thx god we dont have the bigger monster like Tarantulas here

I'd like to see your reaction to one of these ambling across your carpet...





Little miniature land sharks. Once they're full, they just continue killing. Absolutely fearless, I've found a few that when challenged will charge. Of course, this heightened aggression had absolutely no effect and was powerless to stop my boot from crushing it.

Sheeesh, give the bugs a fuggin break! First Animal posts a picture of a bug he used chemical warfare to kill, which, I might add, is forbidden by the Geneva Convention, and then Sand Man starts bragging on the ferocity of the bug HE killed...neglecting to mention that his left shoe alone is as big to that bug as a pyramid is to us, and, in spite of its supposed "ferocity," was the victim of a wanton bug squasher. I hope he stained your carpet.

I respect ALL life rather it's living or not. Such is the credo of PETA, you bunch of murderers. One day all the beasts of the forest will unite against us humans and destroy us as surely as Animal gasses poor skeeter flies and Sand Man does the fandego on potato bugs.

East Texas is the only place I've seen a cockroach actually ask someone for a cigarette.

I really hope that your kidding or being sarcastic..

I had a run-in with a Pygmy Rattlesnake the other day. A neighbor called me over to help her get rid of a snake on her porch. It had crawled up on her firewood stack, so I had to remove a few studmuffingots to find it. It had been crawling up the brick facade, but was hiding two layers down when I found it. It immediately began striking at everything that moved, and even though it was only about fifteen inches long, was the most aggresive thing I'd come across in some time. I finally smashed it's head and it let off a snap so loud you probably could have heard it from one-hundred feet.

The scarey thing is, there's a momma snake out there somewhere and as the weather has turned wetter she'll be on the move.

Just as long as it doesn't enter my home uninvited... then I have to take steps (so to speak).

Oh... and THIS is a potato bug:



It's not a pest. It's food for the more ferocious creatures lurking under my house.

[Elfenwolf]

Voss is a dick!!! He killed a baby snake thats only crime was it wanted to find a warm, safe, dry place to take a nap. Of COURSE he's going to get aggressive, dunderhead, when you start whacking at him with a piece of firewood!

Voss, it's too bad that snake didn't bite you and you died. How dare you place the comfort of a neighborhood slut against the life of an animal? I hope that little snake's mama bites your cruel murdering bellybutton and your testicles drop off, animal killer.

What the hell is the matter with you people? Do you really think you have the right to just squish every bug, smash every snake you come across? Don't you see how our aggressive tendacies towards animals, plants and other people is so destructive? Please, have more respect for nature. For God's sakes.

Elfenwood,

I only killed the giant fly because I thought it was a mutant mosquito.  A poor victim of genetic engeneering living a tormented life, trying to squeal high enough for me to hear "kill... mee...."

And so, with tears in my eyes, I sprayed wood polish spray on its face.

After I took the pictures, I walked stumbling slowly to my  raining backyard. I fell on my knees, raised my arms and looked at the sky, and swore vengeance on science.

Where can I send my PETA application?

That was a Mosquito Hawk, Animal.  They are very beneficial because they eat mosquitos.  They are harmless to humans.

Wouldnt a mosquito be much more agile?
I know dragonflys eat mosquitos, but these things would never be able to catch one.

I've often wondered about that myself Animal.  We've always called them "mosquito hawks", but it turns out they don't eat mosquitos after all.  That's just a common name for them.  And they aren't all that beneficial either...they are harmful to grass by feeding on the roots. So, I learned something new today.

Here's a link if you're interested.  European Crane Fly
