do you just stomp them
or do you stomp and grind/drag (which) them?
If you do the former, well it's a million x smaller than you, why?

I usually try and catch them to feed them to my scorpions. Unless it's a spider, then I run like a 250lbs man running from a spider.
i dont stomp on anything unless it accident and i usally look cause bugs are cool and if a bug came into house i just put em outside yall evil :mad: :lol:
Hell no. I don't even kill stray spiders in my house. I always pick them up and put them outside at least......
Bugs are my buddies. There's a ladybug on my desk right now.
Haell yaheh!!! If they look at me funny!Quote:

I respect all innocent consciousness, except I have one flaw. I absolutely despise cockroaches. I can't fully explain why. Whenever I catch a roach at my place, I don't kill it immediately. I pick it up with toilet paper and put it in the toilet. Then I put strips of toilet paper on top of it so it will start to drown. It will crawl around it and get to where it can come up for air. Then I do the same thing again... and again... and again. After a while, the whole surface of the toilet water is covered in paper, and the son of a bitch has nowhere to go. Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!! :mad: I know it's not the roaches' faults for being roaches, but screw them! They need to keep their nasty, slimy, crawly asses out of where I live! I don't go to their nests and threaten to crawl down THEIR mouths when they're asleep!!!
It depends. If there are any ladies nearby, I show them my sheer manliness by stomping on a bug 1/10000 of my size. If there are no ladies around, my buddies and I take the bug back to one of our houses and torture it :D
lol i hate to break it to you but girls are very friendly to bugs outside..i don't think a girl would appreciate you stomping it in front of them. if you don't believe me, then try it and you'll seeQuote:

lol well technically since it seems like you only kill them indoors, you don't stomp them...and i'm surprised that a girl would be that cruel to bugs ..oh wait, i forgot girls do hate bugs in the house..Quote:

I have two black widows in the house. One of them lets me handle her regularly.
Funny you bring this up now - out on a job today, the client had a harmless little spider webbing down next to his head. I mentioned that he might want to back up a foot. He screamed like a little school-girl. I reached out and plucked the web (with the spider on it), held it up next to my nose, and was examining it closely. He's *shouting* "squash it!" I sighed , let it crawl up into my hand, then took it outside.
I'm not fond of roaches. Dirty little critters. But bugs and arachnids (and the 'peds) in general are awesome fascinating critters. I'd never kill one deliberately.
I can't kill bugs, or insects.
With regard to spiders, i am absolutely terrified of them, so even if i do see one, my only option is to leave the room. I can't even get near it to put it outside!
One thing i detest, but can't kill: Slugs. The sight of them makes me want to vomit...
I'm absolutely fine with almost any bug
except those shiny black beetles
about 5 years ago, when I was living with my parents
we had two dogs
and a dog loo at the bottom of the garden
This dog loo was meant for one dog
and as such, never really coped with 2 lots of dog crap
so it used to back-up every once in a while
and I'd have to poor a shit-load of dog-loo detergent into the thing
fill it up with water, and stir it with a plank (oh, happy days)
anyway, one time, I poured the detergent in (which breaks down anything organic - it's evil stuff)
and bubbles started rising up from the depths
next thing I know, this shiny black beetle surfaced
and it's like nothing I've ever seen
the bastard is segmented - which he shouldn't have been
and about 4 inches long
motherf-cker was not a natural bug
he surfaces, looking away from me, off to the right
and he actually turns himself in the water - turns to face me
well, I run like a mad-man back into the house
the thing sparked some deep primal fear in me, like nothing I've ever experienced
to this day, shiny black beetles (even the naturally occuring, non-segmented kind)
give me the willies
hahahaQuote:

Iraq Desert Spiders
http://www.toomuchfunclub.org/joke%2...203/spider.jpg
Living deep in the desert of Iraq,
these spiders will seek shade from the sun by nesting under rocks
If disturbed, these creatures will run
RUN
towards the nearest shade - your shadow :!:
They emit an audible "scream"
similar to those emitted by crickets
and they're BIG
And they're not spiders. Nor do they bite humans...
They're actually Solifugae (although they do belong to the class Arachnidae) They're also commonly known as Wind Scorpions. But they're in a different class to the true scorpion.
And, no, they don't scream. Or make chittering noises. That would be the sound of you running screaming and the chittering noises would be you soiling yourself...
I had a couple of very large Opilionids here at the house when it was first built. From what I read above, you guys would like them. Nasty hairy icky spider-looking beasties. But they can't bite humans (no fangs, per-se), and their primary diet is slugs and snails...
Booooooo
Spoil sport
HAHAHA...that was a brilliant reply. I was horrified when I first saw those things but feel much better now. :DQuote:

(Edit: Okay, that's it. That damn blue arrow is going up now. It's day has finally come. It will remain until the operation.)
Sorry to spoil it. I'd have thought you were playing games if you'd posted some of the more outrageous rumors. . .
Incidentally - they also don't run 25MPH... They do tend to like shade, though. As just about ANY living thing in the desert would.
They're pretty amazing. A friend of mind managed to smuggle one out alive for me in gulf-war-I. It was kinda sickly when I finally got it, but I nursed it back to health and had it for almost two years, before one day it escaped the terrarium and discovered that it shared the house with a Jack Russell Terrorist...
I don't care how big a critter you think you are - when you come up against a JRT, you're gonna be distributed around the room in tiny little chunks in a matter of seconds...
We had *much* smaller ones in the desert in Arizona/New Mexico/Texas. Some of the larger ones in the middle east can have a leg-span close to dinner-plate-size. I've personally seen them with a body larger than my fist and leg-span around saucer-size.
I've been contemplating trying to get accepted into an arachnology program for awhile now. Maybe once I finish this photo-arts degree, I'll take a shot at it.
I find the entire class to be fascinating.
holy crap, though. They look like something straight out of a sci fi movie. so cool.
anyway I crush anything that gets in my way: man, beast, bug, machine, nature, bug machines, man-beasts, etc. One of those rare occasions when I vent my anger is when a nice big bug tries living in my room. sorry, buddy, you get to die. If I see a bunch of ants on a sunny day I might go and fry them with a magnifying glass or napalm if I get impatient. Usually I have better things to do but it's a pleasant diversion.

I WAS just drowing roaches, but since you called me a girl, I went out this morning on a serial killing rampage and stomped every damn bug I could find at my apartment complex just to prove the depths of my true manhood. I thought your screeen name in my head with each beautiful killing. I thought about how they would get to live if it weren't for you. So many innocent bugs were viciously slaughtered in the wake of the influence of your assumption. Ha ha ha!!! If you love bugs, don't piss off a bug murderer! :-PQuote:

I don't pursue bugs to kill, but if a mosquito or another bug is biting me, that sucka's gonna die. He started it.
:lol: The term I used was, ",,, nasty, slimy, crawly..." Brett Favre and Clint Eastwood say it all the time. That nature of roaches makes girls want to run, but it makes men man up and bravely enter fierce battle. "Universal Mind" comes from Eastern philosophy, and it refers to the consciousness of existence itself. It was made more famous in the West when Jim Morrison sang about it on The Doors' album Absolutely LIve. Okay, I'll stop the killing spree. :cry:Quote:

Stomping is just one of the various techniques and tools that make up my arsenal of insectoid terror. I've been known to stalk, stomp, pummel, smash, shoot, burn, drown, starve, suffocate, and hit with a magazine over and over until nothing remains but black pulp.Quote:

no idea, mate

My guess it would be in the same family as the horseshoe crab. It looks more like a crustacean then anything else.
BTW did you know that they are thinking about sending cockroaches as the first lifeforms to start to teraform mars? Since those bastards can withstand just about anything. Also creates another line of thought, maybe cockroaches were sent here a long long time ago from somewhere else to initally teraform earth. :idea:

As far as killing insects, I generally try not to but I have no problem killing something because we ALL do it indirectly, anyway. By the way I would like to ask some questions to those trying to protect innocent bug life, say killing animals for food is wrong, etc.
I admire your standpoint but, Doesn't human existence alone (that includes you and me)cause the exictintion of 1000's of species of animals a year? Just because you dont pull the trigger doesnt make you innocent, but I guess ignorance is bliss, afterall. Maybe YOU can have a clean conscience about not actually doing anything directly but living out our natural (unnatural in my eyes) lives kills 1000's of animals and bugs a day, be it, bugs hitting our windshield on our way to the movies, or the meat we buy from the grocery store. OR, If you are a vegan or something like that, just playing your part driving to work, cranking up your AC/heater, watching your favorite TV shows, using a computer, and basically all that consumer goodness, causes enough toxins to enter the atmosphere which has been causing drastic climate changes that are destroying natural habitats (stable for 1000's of years mind you), and killing off entire species. If you really want to protect innocent life it would be best to just commit suicide or go live in the mountains somewhere completely in balance with nature. Until then dont blame or look down on those that are more in touch with humanity's current position on earth, which right now is unfortunately- 'Take the money and run' (in the words of Thom Yorke of Radiohead). The lead by example arguement wont keep the ice caps from melting either, we are all born into this lifestyle so there can be no solice found from saving a few measely insects..
One last question:
If a butterfly were stuck in a spiders web which would you help? Helping the butterfly kills the spider from starvation, helping the spider kills the butterfly. Either way YOU choose which of them dies, making you a murderer just the same. The question then becomes- Who made you judge, jury, and executioner? :P
I'm judge jury and executioner because I'm at the top of the food chain. I also get to decide what and when I eat.
I happen to appreciate arachnids and related substantially more than other insects. If I see a damsel fly on the wall and a black widow in a web, I'd go out of my way to catch the damsel and drop it in the Widow's web.
I like to sit outside and watch the local gecko lizards come out from behind the letters that spell out the name of my apartment complex and attack passing roaches and beetles. Those lizards sit there all day, waiting on something to come by. Once in a while, you can watch nature happen. It is just like a gang of crocodiles attacking a gazelle in a river.
"Other" insects? I hope you're not saying that arachnids are insects. :eek:Quote:

I'm the only boy scout I know to take insect study merit badge. Did I ever get made fun of for that. I not only smashed a lot of insects with my net, I dropped them in an air-tight glass with an alcohol swab and then nailed them to a board.
I practically crucified them.
I have some stomping guidelines:
- If a bug is in my way I kill it.
- If a bug is pissing me off I kill it.
- If a bug such as an ant or a stink bug, or a spider, looks like it might do something to piss me off I kill it.
- If a spider of any kind is in my house or garage I kill it while swearing at it and muttering about how much I despise spiders (sorry Kim, they really are revolting).
- If a spider comes near me anywhere else I will probably kill it also.
- If a spider is big, poisonous or hairy I kill it with a piece of PVC pipe or other long object (or in extreme emergencies, the bottom of my shoe, or a brick).
- If I come across a large number of ants I pour water over them or cover their ant-holes in dirt or something. That's always a laugh. What I've always wanted to do was stick firecrackers down ant-holes and light them. As far as I'm concerned ants exist only so people can have fun killing them.
Perhaps the only exception to these rules is if I am feeling lazy (most of the time), or if I am with, say, a Buddhist who hates killing. Then I use all my willpower to resist killing the offending creature (and I'll spare the bug too :lol: ).

I don't stomp on anything, but I kill flies with a quickness.
This will sound weird but I don't kill bugs, spiders, etc. .... my strange sci-fi imagination gets the best of me. I envision these creatures morphing into huge beasts and taking revenge on humans for centuries of torture. Not that they'ld spare me or anything but y'know, karma and all.

No, i don't stomp on bugs. Spiders used to creep me out, but not anymore. I don't mind picking insects up because we don't have any poisonous ones over here. I'll admit i once snapped and swatted a mosquito about 3 years ago, but the thing was flying past my ear all night, creeping me out and keeping me awake. I still feel guilty to this day.

Bugs on the ground don't bother me. Wasp I seriously have residual childhood conflict manifesting into a distinct psychotic episodes. Hair spray and a lighter do this trick.
I don't mind spiders that much... if you're afraid of spiders in Australia the you're probably going to die of a cardiac arrest sometime. I once woke up with a spider in my hair which was kinda weird so I don't like them near my bed, but if theyr'e outta the way then it's all good.
One thing I can't stand however is those bloody centipede things with the red legs and they wriggle and everything grr they just send me into a rage dfor some reason. I always see them when I'm splitting wood for the fire, which is fine by me because i'm armed with a bloody big hammer and they're sittin on a lump of wood so they deserve everything they get.
I used to love (as does every kid) jumping on bull-ant nests, for some reason it seemed so fun to, like sneak up on the unsuspecting ant nest in the scrub and then attack them with our feet and watch them go mental. The things that amuse young minds eh? You should see those ant nests go up with a bit of petrol and a match or two... sometimes it must really suck to be an insect when young kids are around.

Good advice seeing as how one of the most deadly spiders in the world comes from around those parts.
I've handled the Sydney and the Northern Tree female Funnel Webs. One of the most frightening events of my life. An effective anti-venom is in production for both, though, and carried by most ambulances in "funnel web country". The third type is the Blue Mountain.
Both the female and male produce Atraxotoxin. There isn't much on the planet more toxic to humans. The Sydney Funnel Web is by far the most toxic.
They are extremely aggressive, especially the wandering males on hot/humid nights.
The Red-Back spider is similar to our Black Widow in the toxin payload, and effect. Still nothing to sneeze at!
White-tails and Mouse Spiders are both nasty if they bite you. Even the Black House Spider can give you a nasty bite.
Overall, Australia is a great place to go if you like venomous critters...
Their snakes aren't as venomous as those in North America, though, right?Quote:

I remember the Crocodile Hunter saying that he grew up handling snakes just fine because they were simply just not as bad in his country.
Apparently we have the first and second most venomous snake . The first being the Taipan , the second being the Brown snake . Steve Irwin is a bit of a nutter anyway , though he does have balls but not sure hes got much brains .Quote:

Let 'em crawl across the palm of one hand, and then the back of the other. You just need to stay calm. . . [note: Don't do this. And if you do - don't sue me.]
Hmm, that's reassuring. "Here, put this spider on your hand. Don't panic or it'll kill you. It might kill you anyway, though, so don't sue me if it does, 'k bye."Quote:

yeah, ok, it might be a dolphin, but I'm sure I wouldn't be like "oh look at the pretty dolphin"
I love to observe insects and spiders and prety much all natural life. Insects don't grow big where I live :( . I caught myself a giant house spider though and fed it every other insect I could find as well as other spiders.
Did anyone see "life in the undergrowth"? That was a cool documentary :D
With knowledge that I would have a burst of guilty conscience, I do it when I need to, like if I have no other way of extinguishing it. The dilemma scenario is when I have to do it in front of a bunch of scared girls, I can't decide if it's worse to let the bug run wild or smash it with my shoe, and have them see it.
I don't kill spiders. That's about it. I used to hate spiders and be dead afraid of them, but after reading Susan Kay's Phantom I've sworn never to kill one again. *sniffle*
i don't consciously kill insects. if a mosquito lands on me i blow it off.
although if insects are bad and i start getting pissed off i'll occasionally kill one that is especially persistent.
Haha... yeah... Like, I put ladybugs outside the window. I would hate it if I was a bug and my exoskeleton was broken and it penetrated my insides, painfully killing me. But for a fly and stuff I usually just hit it away... but one time I was watching a show on my computer and it just wouldn't get the hell away (it was an hour long show and it came back every once in a while for a while)... then at about 45 minutes I just saw my cat leap toward it (it was funny because I didn't even see it coming... it just leapt), grab it, then eat it. I'm like "THANK YOU!!". Good stuff... yeah, I usually leave the fly exterminating to kittens.Quote:

Yes I do stomp on bugs. Like with I think that death is overrated. However, I do stomp on them not like pull their legs out / set them on fire.
Quick dead = np
Painfull dead = SUCKS.
K!
Ive been bitten by enough spiders to know to stomp em
the only time i killed a bug (and alot of bugs, i might add) was at the beach, somewhere in france.
but the suckers were asking for it :mad:
if you just sat there, stood there, or did anything else for 1 second, there were at least 20 of them, sitting upon you...
so... i spent 3/4 of my time hitting the things off, then i got mad and buried them alive or drowned them.
so did everyone else...
there were millions of them... 't was an invasion... :!:
Usually only kill insects if they bite, sting or swarm me.
Other than that...I don't mind most of them. I find them fascinating.
Even kept a spider once so I could observe it construct webs.
Eventually caught a similar spider and threw it in with the hopes they would fight, but they ended up mating and then the female ate the male.
She eventually was lugging an egg sack around with her inside the terrarium.
My mother set her free while I was at school one day. Didn't want the house over run with baby spiders.
((but I guess that's more info than any of you cared to know))
The only insects I despise and kill without hesitation are cockroaches, flies and mosquitoes. And maggots (though not officially classified as an insect)
They remind of the facehuggers from alien. Speaking of which http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=108Quote:

But for a fly and stuff I usually just hit it away... but one time I was watching a show on my computer and it just wouldn't get the hell away (it was an hour long show and it came back every once in a while for a while)... then at about 45 minutes I just saw my cat leap toward it (it was funny because I didn't even see it coming... it just leapt), grab it, then eat it. I'm like \"THANK YOU!!\". Good stuff... yeah, I usually leave the fly exterminating to kittens.
yeah, i need a cat...
the funniest part is i usually 'warn' the insect beforehand:
"i'm going to have to kill you if you keep bothering me, its been 40 minutes....i MEAN it!....oh, now you asked for it....SLAP". :P
Hey, I was trying to give a serious answer...leave it to you to twist it into something perverse. :lol:Quote:

at the old house i lived in these things where everywhere outside but i havent seen them since i move across town
My cats take care of them, I haven't seen a spider in months :D
I used to, but now I am working on this. Actually, after Ynot bumped this, I had a dream last night. My dad was looking for a fly that I could also hear buzzing. I couldn't find it, but I found a spider and two other insects. I thought "Maybe I should not smash them" but then I said "Ah what the hell, I'm not there yet". But in real life I did at least give a second or third thought to it before deciding to not kill it.
