What is your strangest or most uneasy encounter with creepy crawlies?

I was in the water and had a huge leech grab onto my pinky finger and release a bunch of baby leeches onto my right arm. You?

 

Roaches in New York City. I rest my case.

 

eww. nothing that bad, that i can think of right now anyway. i'm not sure what i would consider "strangest or most uneasy", but i think the overall worst experience was when i was sleeping and a flying ant landed on my face, so i quickly woke up and swatted it off, and it proceeded to land on my penis and bite down so hard that i had to literally grab hold of it and pull it off because it wouldn't let go otherwise.

that experience was even worse than when i weed whacked a stump full of yellowjackets.

 

Ummm yikes lol.

It is a universal fact that yellow jackets are colossal jerks

 

Got a fully furnished room and woke up with a bed bug in my nose.

 

Holy fucking shit that’s awful.

 

I take it you were in Australia?

 

Luckily ive always had nerves of steel when it came to leeches and whatnot

Angering a hornets nest sucked worse for me than that ever did, that was a honkin leech though

 

Lol I accidentally brought roaches into the house when I was a teen when I had bought two nanday conures and their cage that they hid out in

 

Well that's a nice wake up call

 

Yah I thought it was a booger or something until I got it out.


Another one is as a kid, I was playing Capture the Flag and I hid prone in some ivy, as I got up to make a move I felt a searing pain on my inner thigh. I had to tap out of the game, went inside to the bathroom and found a bee there which had stung me.

 

Ticks always seem to get into odd places with me

Once caught a smallmouth bass that left a small tapeworm on my leg when he pooped

 

Probably the freezing day that I was looking after our 4 year old daughter and she came in from the garden and told me that the poor little spiders were cold.
When I realized that she was unusually quiet and had been up and down the stairs for the last few hours I went to investigate.
She had spent the morning sweeping the poor little baby spiders into a dustpan and transferring them into OUR bed to keep them warm.
Needless to say, the little spiders were ants and despite my efforts to get rid of them before Jane got home, we were still finding ants in our bedroom for the next few weeks.
Jane could never work out where they came from and neither our daughter or I thought that it would be wise to own up and tell her.
All this happened exactly 30 years ago this month and it is still our little secret.

 

You do not want to know how pissed off a pregnant rattlesnake gets when you are trying to get it out from underneath your front porch. Seriously, you don't...

 

We have palmetto bugs here, which look like roaches on steroids, they're huge. And they move so quickly its nearly impossible to catch them. I had one get in my house last summer and for weeks I would see it running about at 90 mph but I could never catch it. Creepy little fucker

 

Oh man, that is actually pretty funny lol. Good thing they weren't fire ants.

 

I could imagine, those things are pretty hotheaded

 

Did you try a sticky bug trap? That'd save you some trouble

 

That..did not occur to me.
Although i dont generally kill bugs anyways, I just wanted to catch it and set it outside

 

Googled those and DANG, those are creepy. I've chased a roach around a warehouse before and let me tell you, very few things have made me feel as dumb as spending a half hour trying to catch a tiny insect not in flight.
