The aliens have landed. All I know is it made a huge crunch and lots of goo shot out when I smashed it with my foot.

That's not an insect that's a house pet. nah, definately an alien.
If you didn't squash him he would have gotten an account here eventually. -
Found a milipede crawling around my house last night. Poor thing probably had to come indoors to get away from all the spiders camped out on my front porch. I don't mind the spiders as long as they stay outside, though I wish the little bastards would learn not to spin their webs across the doorway. All that happens is I get pissed off, and they have to rebuild it daily, so it's not helping either of us.Eat Us And Smile

Sickest, grossest, nastiest, ugliest bug ever!.....EVER!
Potato bugs. When I was doing pool service with my brother we would find them during certain months in pools. Sometimes dead, sometimes alive. Of all the weird shit I would find in pools, these by far were the creepiest. No fucking way in hell would I hold one. They are the shit of nightmares.

They do look like some sort of bizarre mad scientist experiment gone wrong. Like they somehow spliced frog DNA into ants and mated them with bees or something.Eat Us And Smile

That is NASTY! I've never seen one of those before.
This is what I've always thought was a potato bug:

Yeah, I always called those things potato bugs. Though oddly enough, I never saw one anywhere near a potato. Usually they were under a rotting piece of wood or something like that.Eat Us And Smile

Jerusalem crickets, also called "potato bugs" are a group of large, flightless insects of the genus Stenopelmatus. They are native to the western United States and parts of Mexico.
Despite their names, Jerusalem crickets are a distinct lineage within the Orthoptera, separate from crickets (eg Gryillidae), are not native to Jerusalem, and they do not prefer potatoes for food. Active usually at night, the insects use their strong mandibles to feed primarily on dead organic material but can also eat other insects.Their highly adapted feet are used for burrowing beneath moist soil to feed on decaying root plants and tubers.
As is true for other large arthropods (e.g. solfugids), there are a number of folk tales regarding Jerusalem crickets which are untrue; first and foremost, they are not venomous. However, they can emit a foul smell and are capable of inflicting a painful bite - but neither is lethal, as some of the tales would suggest.Comment

Yeah the slugs are still around. Saw slime trails all over my front tire the other day. Never saw one inside the house though. Though I did find a snail attached to my back door a few weeks back.
Two ways to kill slugs - You can either be sadistic and pee on them (salt burns them to death) or get some cheap shit beer and pour it in a little dish, and let them drown happy.Eat Us And Smile
