Little Flies…Mosquitoes
Some call them “little flies,” since this is the literal translation of their name, Bear Grylls calls them “mossies,” and I call them blood-sucking little turds that serve no purpose on this planet.

I Like Big Butts…Earwigs
I like big butts and I cannot lie… That’s what the song says anyway, but I am pretty darn certain that this is one big butt you would not like. At all. Not even a little bit. Earwig Identification: This butt belongs to the pincher bug, aka the earwig. Kind of like the platypus that […]
Where The Magic Happens…Fleas
Fleabag motels, flea markets, bed fleas, fleas, fleas, and more fleas. They seem to get around, those fleas.

Party Crashers… Aphids
Well, there’s a party going on right here, a celebration to last throughout the year…oh wait, you weren’t invited.
