I've learned to look before sitting down, but sometimes it's hard to spot them in the middle of the night.
What the heck?? Omg scary!

They are not scared of you, they don't run from you, they run towards you. Actually, they hop towards you. They hop really high. And they are fast. And ugly. Yuck.
This is going to give me nightmares....lol

I don't know what these are yet, but I'm afraid to find out!

The jumbo spiders are enough to send me running-I cant wait until something jumps AT me! Yikes!

I've never had a roach in my house until we moved here-found a guy twice. Boths times it was after bringing in bags from a store, so I'm thinking they hitched a ride, but it totally freaked us out. In the north, the people with roaches were generally in poor, run-down neighborhoods. Here it seems they can show up anywhere.

I hate roaches. And we had several last summer. I finally figured they were coming in around a skylight. I'd always see them on the ceiling near the skylight. Never in large hoards, just one at a time. And closer to the coast, the big water bugs, which are giant roaches, are bad. Even those million dollar beach houses you can rent, will get them!

I have a problem with tiny black insects. Does another else have this issue? They sting my skin when they get on me but do not bother anyone else in the house. I have not found anything that will kill them so far. Please, help if you know anything about them.

Fleas? Do they have a hard shell?
