potato bugs!! these guys are friggin mean around here,also the one that got into our house was different,he looked more like a scorpion without the tail! we caught him and I tried to poke him with a toothpick just to see what he would do and he nearly snapped the thing in half with his pinchers!!




So I found a big spider and put it in there with the potato bug.It thought nothing of the spider at first but after a couple of hours later he charged at the spider and started squeezing him with his pinchers...his mouth looked exactly like the mouth of the predator I was beginning to think it wasnt a potato bug, but it was,did some research on it and even talked to one of my old teachers who was an expert on bugs and stuff....



very scary that there are more of these around my house

Holy Chit!!!
Riverside, CA, simply is NOT far enough away from me..

THAT's what potato bugs look like out there?

he might have done a number on the toothpick, but i bet he'd be no match for the bottom of a flip flop!

how do you put images on these forums anyway? ive tried it a bunch of times and it never works.

I feel lightheaded.......
