I hate these little beasties with a vengeance, I still have the scars to justify my hatred of them.


I love the image though, cracking stuff.

I'm slightly creeped out...which is good...it looks alive, it looks scary...but the color in the eyes is incredible. Great, brave shot!

i would never stick a bug in the fridge!

i find them after sudden rain storm, the sudden drop in temperature slows them down similar to miner bees which need the warmth to fly. they just sit there only twitching the front legs and antennas
