can someone PLEASE tell me what this is....
 

I am finding these disgusting bugs in my apartment sporadically, and i don't know what they are?!?!?

I first saw little baby ones come up thru my drain; used draino a few times and never saw them again. Now i'm seeing full grown big ones here and there zipping by.

I'm from toronto, moved to LA over a year ago and we certainly do not have these kind of bugs there.

I am soooooooooo creeped out - *SHUDDER*

Can someone please tell me what they are :helpme

It's a bug

a kind of grasshopper used to feed lizards, geckos and all that kind of shit... check them neighbors...

Are you sure those are not forms of modified STD crabs?

looks like a form of cricket to me

man if they are im gonna KILL you
ewwww

i told you i didn't want you to use my toilet :disgust

The letters behind your 'name' are not academic achievements: S.T.D.

as jace said its a cricket.
They can and will eat flesh, but alas they are primarly just fucking annoying as hell. Specially when they start chirping.

I say get a bug bomb or some killing gell.

Its a cricket or a mutant bug from Mars you decide

I never hear chirping ever - but yea I suppose a bug bomb will need to be used!!

This is why you do not kill the spiders around the house.

You are lucky it has not started chirping. There are few things as annoying on this planet than 1 fucking cricket somewhere in your damn house rubbing its damn little legs together making that gawd awful chirping noise. The damn noise even seems to come out of thin air as a ventriloquist near the cricket. So you think it is one place and its actually a few feet elsewhere, and then the damn thing goes silent. Then it starts again and you never sleep.

if you think that is crazy then you need to move to georgia or florida, we have bugs down here that would make that bug look like a teddy bear

we woke up one night at a friends house to find a wolf spider on our bed...ever seen one of those? scared us to death

UGH...that would be like tortue, don't know what would be worse, seeing those creepy things in my place or having to hear it 24/7

so maybe it isn't a cricket - cuz i've seen these things for a few months now, and never one chirp??

OMG - I would die for real!!

adult female crickets do not chirp

be nice to my sister lol xo:upsidedow

found this, and as I am colorblind I can't tell what color that insect is that you posted, but this fits

Yup.

But the boys do, and eventually if you do not kill them boys will show up and start making lets get it on annoying cricket love songs all night long.

LOL
thanks for comin to the rescue sis
:winkwink:

I wish you were here to help me kill these nasty things

Boy am I glad to be in Toronto where its freezing but at least bug free!

PS: Those look like a hybrid of a spider and a scorpion to me!

Once, when I was in FL, I was under the influence of a couple micro dots and was outside having a cig. We saw a big ass spider on the roof above the smoking area, so I hit it with a lighter real quick and it dropped to the ground. About a minute later a fucking bird flew by and scooped that shit up with out even stopping. It was pretty crazy.

wow that seems like a whole lot to do!!
i live in a 4-plex, so they could come from my neighbours?!?!?!

eeeeks - im calling landlord tomorrow to get an exterminator

that is the type of shit i LOVE see happen when I am trippin, you end up talking about it for hours

rock on!

never thought i'd miss the freezing cold...
but i do miss the bug free part

Heh...... ;)

Miss jody if you can find the poison gell they have at hardware stores. It will not matter if they live next door or whatever. Your house will get them all as they eat the food and it kills their repoductive system. Just place around any cracks in the cabinets and such that have water pipes or are damp.

Fuck that !!!!!! :helpme:(

thanks for all the advice - much appreciated!!
i will go get the gel tomorrow and put it everywhere!!

again - thnx :upsidedow

we got that gel shit for ants and god damn does it work good

we live 2 miles from this place - http://www.doityourselfpestcontrol.com/ - and GOD DAMN is it a god send

that gel shit for ants is amazing, they come and eat it for like 12 hours, you let them be and don't kill them yourself, and they take it all back to their nest..within 24 hours every ant was dead and we had no more trails

It's a cricket.

Used to get them in my brewery all the time...

typically, I would just scoop them up and toss them out... but every once in awhile, one would be chirping in a very hard to reach spot... so, lacking a better idea - in one of my crueler moments, I'd spray them with a douse of caustic potash.

15 seconds later, they didn't have legs to make noise with any more, and I'd rinse the remains away.

I'm probably going to hell for that.

Me & some friends were 15, planting a field of pot....scoping out some good spots. We found this beautiful little untouched oasis of sorts, next to a babbling creek, so zin. So we looked down with our shovels to get started, only to see millions of wolf spiders making up the entire ground beneath us.

I still have nightmares to this day.

thanks for all your help also
you guys are total bug experts - love it!!

so can you play wii online against people?
I see ur friend code
I'm mildly obsessed with my wii :)

Its a fucking harmless cricket.

It's a male cricket. I had to do filming on crickets for a university for about 12 hours one time. Man that sucked.

Male cricket nothing more nothing less.
Female crickets are black or light brown and have 3 long rods.
Males are dark brown to light tan with shorter rods.

actually, it is female

male are the ones that try and attract the mates, so they make noise

I am completely wiitarded

this is the list of games you can use the "friends" feature on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...nnection_games

let me know if you have any of those, if I don't have it I will grab it tomorrow

right now we only have Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

I didn't mention noise in my post anywhere. Unless you have sat with over 30 species of crickets and filmed them for 12 hours, move on to a different post.

And no, it's a NOT male, the female has 3 long prongs, the middle of which lays eggs.

Man you nailed that 100% :1orglaugh

The cricket she posted a picture of is a MALE.
It is not a female.
My earlier post got all fubared because of kids like Jace that don't know wtf their talking about and surfing the board for porn and slowing it down for webmasters.

Jace heres a line of php for you


$Jace ="loser";

hey just relax brother - jace is definitely a webmaster

no need for all the hate :thumbsup

I know exactly who Jace is.

rofl, damn, gotta love gfy, only place i know in the world where someone gets so insecure over an insect discussion

chill out man, I didn't threaten to kill your family

Jace, usernames on this forum are very misleading. I regged here in 2001 and sold over 3 million images in this industry. I don't like you, I never have, you leave a bad taste in alot of people's mouths that KNOW you.

Sit down there in Tucker and just shush your mouth and reread what I originaly wrote.

That's why people don't like you, you are fast to hop onto anything even if you don't know what you are talking about.
