That's right: it's time for eeeeverybody's faaaaavorite game, Name Your Faaaavorite Insect!!

So mine are fireflies. At dusk, there's nothing more relaxing than watching the shadows lengthen against a backdrop of those flitting maniacs.

dragon flies are my favorite bug. (who ever came up with the helicoptor had one of these in mind)

We mustn't forget the butterfly

I hate them, but they are fastinating to watch. Spiders, the bigger the better.

Cicadas. I always know when summer has really arrived when these ugly little critters start buzzing. So loud! And they start and stop for no apparent reason. A mystery for sure. I was once in the Tucson Botanical Gardens for a reception. Everyone was sitting around eating pumpkin ice cream and about a dozen cicadas were buzzing overhead. Suddenly they all stopped at once, and everyone found that they had been yelling at each other.

I know that, so what mister fun governor. The spider stays, so bite me.

Thank goodness. Spider's are nasty things, unless, of course, you're another spider.

When I visiting some friends in Austin, Texas, several years ago, they heard their dog barking outside. They looked down what was then more or less a dirt road leading into nowhere, and slowly sauntering down the center of the hot street was a tarantula.

Have you ever held one, Fable?

Was it wearing a sombrero, fable?

Tarantulas are adooorable, and it tickles in a funny way when they walk on your skin (If I know it's not poisonous, I don't mind holding spiders or insects.)

My favorite insect is the Hercules beetle. Also, I like dragon flies.

Hi CE. you want to see my spider. It's small though, I'm sorry.

No, but it was waving three pina coladas, and singing something about "Adios, muchachos, cabaleeeeeeros..."

LMAO

When I worked construction, the worse thing that ever happened to me was. I was in a tight space, replacing molding on a hundred year old home. When I pulled the old molding away, I don't know how many spiders came out. But, they were all the size of a quarter, I couldn't get out fast enough.

OMG, DP I would have died...

I did Loner, three times. Now I only have six, no 1,2,3,4, four lives left.

LOL
