People here seem to be very interested about the types of bugs that can be found in homes. I read this article on Gizmodo about a local study done at UNC on 50 homes within 30 miles of Raleigh, and thought I'd share it. The actual study is linked in the article, although I probably won't read it myself.
As much as I'm phobic of the roaches... the big giant "waterbugs" (I'm sorry, but they are NOT waterbugs!!!!!), this study is neat! I don't mind the other critters much unless bother me... like fleas, mosquitoes, and wasps. But the rest can stay! Never expected there to be so many though :O

Thanks for the link!
In my childhood I remember seeing many "water boatmen" swimming at the surface of stagnant pond water. It was a legend among my frightened playmates that they sucked human blood.. This was of course untrue as they are herbivores. Some would carry a bubble of air with them.
