![]() ![]() Just in case anyone wants to school me on this, I don’t want to know either. I’m here to tell you that I have no knowledge of earwig life and times and skeletal make-up. I mentioned my pet earwig and its demise and the hardiness of the earwig as a whole. The conversation continued about the pop that different bugs make, you know, when you squish ‘em. So I of course brought up that story during the bug conversation of Taco Tuesday. Squish!” Until I got kinda nauseous at the pop, pop, pop of the bugs at the squish part. I would go out and as they hopped I would squish them. At least that is what I thought a few years ago when they showed up at my home. They sleep under the ground until conditions are just right then just when you think it is safe to play outside they surround sandboxes, homes, towns, highways and eventually whole counties! When the first ones show up their numbers are not all that disturbing. These crickets create quite a stir when they arrive. It started with stories of the cricket infestation that we here in Nevada have had this year. Then onto bugs harder to dispatch to bug heaven because of the pop they make when stepped on. Bug popping.Īs the discussion grew the bugs got bigger, badder, and weirder. Well the third morning it showed up? It was, well let’s say it bugged out via a couple of squares of toilet paper to the nearby bathroom throne! And that is where the story of bugs on Taco Tuesday entered a sound effect stage. I was going to smooch it but I thought that the humane thing to do was just wash it away. I wash it down the drain and the next morning it is back. I have acquired what I am calling a pet earwig. I just read a funny thing that a writer wrote wanting to know why Noah let two mosquitos onto the Arc! All I know is that the mosquitos and flies are why Noah kept the door open for the spiders! Ants however. Bugs apparently are not something that we non-entomologists like to have come into our homes. OK, it was after dinner as such conversations are not dinner friendly. Last Taco Tuesday I was having a conversation over tacos about bugs. I’m here, they’re here and thankfully I am very happy about the fact that I am bigger! And I wear shoes. Having been created for reasons that I have come to believe I will not know why until it is my time to learn the mysteries of life - and death. They are after all creatures just like me. I really don’t have much of anything against bugs. Here I must say that size does not matter. Big bugs, little bugs, bugs of all sizes. ![]()
