First time I ever saw a potato bug it was coming after me at a campfire I was sitting at alone. We were in a canyon in NM and Jim and gone off to help some friends get to their tent (they had to cross a river in the pitch black and were scared).
I screamed like a woman and killed it with fire. It was awful.

They really are kinda sweet bugs.. They look a little bewildered and comical with the white rings around their bodies. They really don't want any part of us.

Now earwigs? They succck!

That burger looks delicious... I love how the meat is slightly charred on the outside... much like a well-cooked BBQ Burger. I bet it eats well.

Now, to figure a way of getting 590lbs of burger into my mouth, then my stomach, without it destroying my 180lbs body... Hm...

Sounds crunchy. I'm eating pasta salad, right now, and there are chunks of cucumber in it. I shall pretend that they're potato bugs.
