I'm terrified of ladybugs. They'll turn up anywhere, even on your clothes, and they're not going ANYWHERE ELSE unless you try to kill them. I haven't the guts. I don't like bugs!
Bye!

steelmagghia 01-14-2014 08:36 PM

Aww, I love ladybugs. But I don't hate all bugs. Just certain ones.

Amane 01-14-2014 09:32 PM

Every single one terrifies me. All the arthropods (except crustaceans; it feels awesome to use that terminology and know you'll understand it). They look scary. Except butterflies, but I probably wouldn't be happy if a butterfly landed on me.

steelmagghia 01-14-2014 09:34 PM

Haha, aw, you're adorable. Wait, wait, wait. You're scared of ladybugs but a crayfish doesn't scare you? Hahaha. I have very little fear of most animals. Arthropods in general don't bother me, but I do have that primal fear of stingers. And I hate crickets and june bugs. And of course, roaches in the house make me feel like I need to clean.

Amane 01-14-2014 09:40 PM

Why, it looks like a lobster! But I do see how they could be scary. Ladybugs will go anywhere and just sit there no matter what. Crayfish keep themselves in the water, far away from me. They look enough like a lobster to not scare me. I'm zoophobic, though, I think, so I'd probably be uneasy if I saw a real one.
/now I want Red Lobster

Haha. I don't eat seafood, so I can't think of them as delicious. I'm not really scared of crustaceans, but I've had my finger pinched hard by a crayfish. Drew blood and everything. It hurt, but the best part was that it made me flinch, and crayfish are really really light. So the thing went flying up onto my shoulder and in my hair. Which was really surprising. But the best part was that the boys sitting next to me screamed like little girls. My professor stopped class to make fun of them. It was hilarious.

Amane 01-14-2014 09:49 PM

Ouch, and LOL! But what class had you interacting with live crayfish?
I don't eat seafood because it smells. I eat chicken fingers and fries at Red Lobster. I'm that person.

steelmagghia 01-14-2014 09:53 PM

It totally hurt, haha. It was a zoology class in my undergraduate years. It was one of my favorite classes. I actually taught the reptile and amphibian section. It did hurt like crazy, though, haha.

No worries, I am totally the person that orders the chicken at Long John Silvers. :D

Amane 01-14-2014 09:58 PM

I took zoology in my senior year. Fun class once you get past the arthropods.

I had fries from there once, and they were delicious.

Go to fancy restaurant.
Order chicken fingers and fries.
It's really filling, though. Those chicken fingers are huge.

I love ladybugs! They're so harmless and they always seem curious.

Amane 01-14-2014 10:20 PM

Excuse me? Curious? Maybe curious about how long they can stay near me before I cry.

steelmagghia 01-14-2014 10:34 PM

Hahah, oh Amane. You're adorable. *hugs*

Amane 01-14-2014 10:35 PM

This is srs bsns fear! [illgetu]

steelmagghia 01-14-2014 10:36 PM

But it's still adorable. :)
Alrighty, time for me to get ready for belly dance. Talk to you later!

Amane 01-14-2014 10:37 PM

Have fun!

Moogle 01-15-2014 12:19 AM

Oh hush. Ladybugs mean no harm at all. :> They mostly just sit on the plants in our home.

Edit: And I've just learned why. Apparently they like to eat the pests that tend to eat plants or crops.

Amane 01-15-2014 12:40 AM

They also lurk our curtains and our bathroom. [gonk]

Heh, Moogle: they're magnificent predators. Would you like to see a video of a ladybug just devouring a crapton of aphids? I wouldn't even call it hunting. It's more like sitting at a buffet. Ladybugs are bamf.

FYI, I'm back from belly dance andhave a few minutes to cool off before I have to run off to tutoring. :)

Moogle 01-15-2014 02:13 AM

Man, I love ladybugs! They're so cute and even when they're killing another insect they're still nice to look at.

steelmagghia 01-15-2014 03:13 AM

I have to agree, my friend. :)

Amane 01-15-2014 03:29 AM

Would you mind linking the big bug pictures? They make me squeamish.

steelmagghia 01-15-2014 03:31 AM

Oh sorry, dear. I didn't even think about it! I shall put it in a spoiler tag. *goes to edit*

Amane 01-15-2014 03:33 AM

Thanks a lot. [sweat]

steelmagghia 01-15-2014 03:36 AM

No problem. Usually I'm better at being more sensitive to triggers, but apparently not so much today.

Amane 01-15-2014 03:43 AM

It's not every day you run into someone who flinches at any tiny dot they think is a bug…
