Even Insects Need Respect

Even our littlest of bug friends need love. You see, each has a life of it's own, and it took a cartoon to make me realize this. All those days of watching Bugs Bunny outwit Elmer Fudd is proof positive that they are worth saving.

Next time you see a roach on the ground, consider this. That little roach is outfitted with longevity armor beyond anything else (I wonder though...).

To help myself shed some childhood fears, I thought I would share one of them with everyone. The following video is one of my most favorite, and feared bugs. No, I don't think their poisonous, but they freak me the hell out.

Some call them a potato bug, but this is actually a Jerusalem cricket. It is also known as a Woodlouse crustacean, or more specifically, Armadillidiidae or pillbug

Enjoy the bug that gives me the biggest of willies.
