Oh but Euphegenia, it's 27 different versions of the same three songs!

even so... BAH HUMBUG!!! I'm not very holly jolly when it comes to Christmas lol

Not work-related, but the next Asian beetle i kill in or around my house will be number 10,076.

this

I have german roaches...I'll trade...I don't mind beetles so much!

Oh...I had to look them up, they BITE and are harmful to DOGS? NO! Nevermind!

Am I seeing this correctly? When I google Asian Beetle I get what I have always known as lady bugs. I've never known them to bite or hurt dogs.

Asian beetles aren't normal lady bugs......the normal lady bugs are red and these are orange and more oval-shaped.

I'm told Asian beetles bite too (amazingly, i don't think i've been bit yet).....but my biggest complaint is that they are just at my house in HUGE numbers as soon as it warms up. It can get down to 25 degrees at night and they won't be around...then 2 days later it warms up to 55....and zoom, here they are.

And i don't have any dogs, so i can't comment on how they interact with dogs.

And they SMELL!!! They used to swarm when I was a kid in SE Oklahoma. They're really gross.

Yes, the swarming part is really annoying.

Work pet peeve - people who don't line up the pages they're 3-hole punching so that inevitably the pages don't line up once they're in a binder.

Ok, that makes sense to me. I learned something new.

my biggest work pet peeve is people who complain about work pet peeves...

We had the Asian Beetles in fall of 2017 here in SW KS. Their numbers were in the thousands at my house and yes they bite. Vacuumed the little buggers up daily inside my house, bagged and disposed of them in dumpster and sprayed the outside of the house with malathion (hate to use that stuff) but we were literally being chased out of our house. Didn't know they were dangerous to the dogs, how ever the dogs seemed to steer clear of the beetles as they didn't like the scent they emit. So glad I only saw a few this fall and now it has snowed twice so I think they will be history here. We have also had Elm Beetle and Miller invasions in the past, oh the joys of an old farm house that is not sealed up very tight.

We have their alter ego here...called Love Bugs. Nasty little beasts.

Love Bugs - one of the three Florida State Insects, the other 2 being the Mosquito and the Palmetto Bug.

One of my 2 year old twin granddaughters tasted a palmetto bug recently

Officially, however, I wonder why Florida only has one and Georgia has two official insects?

does it "bug" you?

Yes...it's making me itch.

The Asian Beetles were OK. Rubber Seoul is really good.

This made me laugh.

It makes me think about a palmetto cheese sandwich.

The actual bug or the spray?

people who just leave enough coffee in the coffee pot to make 1/8th of a cup, but don't start a new pot...
