Yeah, have your laughs. I was skeptical AF until I saw that people would pay up to $4 each for some of those. There's basically no cost to keep them as they eat shed skin and dead plants.

got a ton of em over here in South Texas. My kiddo loves finding them in the front yard in the evenings.

In the rare event I see one in my home, I like to pick them up and place them back outside.

I was moved almost to tears. That was truly beautiful, Poo.

The smaller ones are often used in terrariums, too. Them and spring tails, which there are probably a million of in an orchid I have. They eat mold and are harmless to the plant.

I had one crawl around my phone Sunday while I was fixing a weed eater.

Start a thread when you realize how fricked you are after 1,700 pounds of leaf mold shows up at your doorstep on a UPS truck. That baw no doubt made an order while you weren't looking.

This thread reminded me that I haven't seen caterpillars in a while. And my grandparents still live where they've always lived, and caterpillars used to be so abundant they'd be all over the trees in their yard and crawling on their driveway, etc. I used to have to be very mindful when I would play basketball or run around the yard not to step on a stinging caterpillar 
Haven't seen any of the buggers, stinging kind or friendly kind, in a long time even though I still visit my grandparents house fairly often.

Growing up, I remember seeing so many of them but I can't remember the last time I've seen one in south Louisiana.
What are you talking about? I’m pretty sure you swapped places with your alternate universe doppelgänger.

I never really see them but damn the centipedes have made one hell of an appearance this year.

I was painting the bottom of one of our out buildings late one evening and the sun had just set. Where I brushed leaves away from the bottom wood, there were a huge number of roly poly bugs and some of them had two round glow somethings on their undersides, back in their aft section.
Has anyone else seen this?

Fun Fact: They remove toxic metals from the earth. Who knew?!!

A lightning bug hit my windshield yesterday evening and it stayed lit up there about a second until it went dark. Didn’t know they would stay lit up, even for a split second, after that.

We called doodlebugs the beetle larva that dig little holes. They’re more wormy-like with big ole pincer mouths. We’d stick a piece of grass down the hole and pull when it started moving. And pop, they’d come right out.

They are all over Houston burbs

Pick up a log in the dirt and look under it?
