Grey, ugly, spawn like salmon under boat docks, it appears.<BR/><BR/>Not sure what kind these are, aside from brownish-yellow, fat-butted, major-goo-producing arachnoids from the pit.<BR/><BR/>Your story about the bat & spider is great -- I'm going to go tell it to Wendy right now! :)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507750513253177476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-1160402409797193162006-10-09T08:00:00.000-06:002006-10-09T08:00:00.000-06:00cindy,Sorry about the lady bugs.

They are huge and kind of grey. Fortunately we didn't have very many this year - I think one in the house, and a few in the garage. Definitely a mess to squish.<BR/><BR/>One of my kids' favorite memories:<BR/>(sorry this is long for a comment)<BR/><BR/>We had just returned from a weekend trip, early September. We opened the garage and began carrying in luggage. However, there was a bat in the garage (first time ever). There I was standing in the garage with this bat flying around my head. So I hit the deck. Thinking I was safe, I glanced down, and within an inch of my face there was a 3-inch wolf spider. At this point, I lost it and ran from the garage screaming hysterically. The boys thought it was <I>awesome</I>!<BR/><BR/>David,<BR/>Thanks for sharing. I just have to pretend this isn't true.<BR/><BR/>inheritor,<BR/>Our box elder bugs are worse than usual also this year.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458658959357581120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-1160364429439295092006-10-08T21:27:00.000-06:002006-10-08T21:27:00.000-06:00thank you David.

The kind that you HAVE to kill with a shoe, because they splat all over the place, leaving a disgustingly large amount of goo on whatever surface they were on when you hastened their involvement in the Circle of Life.<BR/><BR/>I like Gil Grissom of CSI fame, but his love for bugs is probably why he's still single.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507750513253177476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14373188.post-1160352197985089392006-10-08T18:03:00.000-06:002006-10-08T18:03:00.000-06:00we get infested with ladybugs (I mean sometimes hu...we get infested with ladybugs (I mean sometimes hundreds a day) every year starting the 1st week of november. few people know that when in distress, they emit an odor similar to a stink bug. they also leave brown goo everywhere they crawl if they're dying, which is the only reason they come in. it lasts about 3 months. <BR/><BR/>I empathize with you, Grace.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015836604614281485noreply@blogger.com
