Cool & Gross


I was recently looking online to identify some harmless tiny bugs we found downstairs and came across this website: http://www.whatsthatbug.com/. It is very useful and actually kind of funny sometimes...the bug guy likes to be clever. There's even a section on 'unnecessary carnage' where he posts the dead bug pics he gets and sometimes explains why that certain bug should be left alive (he is anti-extermination). I wasn't able to find our bug on the site- they're probably too boring to find anywhere...but I did ask him about them and hopefully I'll get a response soon...I didn't tell him we spray for bugs 4 times a year...So anyway I thought I'd pass along this site in case any of you ever needed to identify a bug!

ugggg! I was just wondering the other day if the nasty spider in our window well was a black widow. IT IS! Grossssss! we just had two in our garage last month - do you have black widows? assuming you do since you live across the street :) time to call the exterminator again YUCK!!

yep we have black widows and tyler said a big ole wolf spider dropped from our house outside after the exterminator guy came...and those are bad cuz they carry their babies on their backs...so you don't want them getting inside!

Darci, I'm so glad you posted this! I read it last year when you put it up and checked it out but didn't think any more about it. Until...we've been getting these BIG, gross spiders in the basement (i.e. my bedroom) this summer and it's totally freaking me out. I saved one of the spiders (yep, he's dead...drowned in my bathtub. Gross, right?) and took a picture because I remembered you had posted this site. I'm hoping they can tell me what kind it is and if they're poisonous. Thanks for posting this website!!
