Hi, y'all know I love bugs right? Like obviously I do I still wanna go into forensic entomology and I think all bugs are great
Excpet for one...
CAVE CRICKETS
For those who don't live in ye old mountains like I do, these long legged freaks mostly come out during the winter here and are very attracted to moist and damp areas, so for my home: MY SHOWER
So picture one of those being in your shower the second you're stepping in, absolutely disgusting
Like I said, love bugs. Not these guys. I don't kill them obviously but I hate moving them cuz they'll hop

Dermatobia hominis, or the Torsalo Fly, is sometimes misnamed the "Human Bot Fly" because sometimes they end up getting into humans, but actually their primary host is cattle. Anyway, what's really weird about these freaks is how they get in there. An adult female Torsalo fly will lay her eggs on top of a blood-feeding fly, like a stable fly or horn fly or even mosquitoes

And then when that fly lands on a warm-blooded creature, the eggs immediately hatch, and will fall off as the fly begins to feed. The larva then just infest the wound left by the fly.
Isn't that fucked up. Don't you love hearing about bot flies. Now go back to that thing I said about these sometimes ending up in humans
Traditional white-striped bodypainting practiced by indigenous communities mimics zebra stripes to reduce the number of potentially harmful horsefly bites a person receives by up to 10-fold, according to new research published Wednesday.
Traditional white-striped bodypainting practiced by indigenous communities mimics zebra stripes to reduce the number of potentially harmful horsefly bites a person receives by up to 10-fold, according to new research published Wednesday.
Tribes in Africa, Australia and southeast Asia have practiced bodypainting in cultural ceremonies for generations.
Traditionally mixed from clay, chalk, ash and cattle dung, the white or grey paint is widely thought to help individuals moderate body heat in soaring bush and savanna temperatures.
But scientists now believe that the striking striped patterns also slash the amount of biting insects attracted to the naked flesh of people living in Nature.
It is known that zebras get bitten far less than animals with a single fur colour, so a team of researchers decided to see if the light stripes painted on humans would have a similar deterrent effect.
They used three shop mannequins—one with dark skin, one with lighter skin, and a dark-skinned model painted with white stripes—and coated each with a thin layer of adhesive to capture creepy crawlies.
They then stuck them in the middle of a meadow for eight weeks in summer, and counted the number of horseflies and other biting insects each one attracted.
The results were startling: the dark-skinned mannequin was 10 times more attractive to horseflies than the striped model and twice as attractive than the light-skinned dummy.

Vinegar to destick them. I tried this personally. A spray bottle with straight white vinegar. Soaked the area. Rubbed vigorously with a wash cloth. It worked!
Hot water to destick them
Vaseline to smother them
Baby oil to smother them. May also prevent future ones from sticking.
Disposable razor to cut them off
Bot knife to cut them off
Sandpaper to scrap them off
Pumice stone to scrap them off
Whatever you do, make sure you remove them in an area that a horse won’t graze, otherwise they’ll still injest the eggs.
