Big Gross Bug Part 1
I had every intention of writing about our fabulous Sunday trip to see some family, until now. Big Gross Bug has entered the Brooks household as of last night and I thought I'd tell you about him? her?
After Dan walked Scruffy last night he came in sat down at his computer and I went down to tell him goodnight. AFTER a little hug and a kiss I noticed a GIANT bug on his shoulder and told him he was there. Well, the bug was flung off his shirt (towards me) and flew away. Come to find out, Dan thought I said tarantula on his shoulder so he jumped really high.
I insisted that he find the bug and get rid of it, not really wanting it to join us in our bedroom in the middle of the night. We couldn't find it and I forgot about it till the morning when I heard the blinds shaking. Gross.
SO, I gently have closed the blinds and Big Gross Bug hasn't figured out how to get out into the house yet. Phew.
Dan is going to be the bug guy in the few minutes when he gets home before our neighbors come over for dinner. When I talked to him a few minutes ago he said my job is to poke holes in a plastic jar so that Davis can have the bug.
I don't mind, as long as Davis doesn't figure out how to open the container.

Here is what is lurking behind my blinds in the dining room...
I must admit, this isn't as Gross of a friend as what my friend Ginny had to deal with a couple of months ago!!

Hmmmm...I've never seen anything like that before...
Just call it "Bob".
Ellen,
Your little friend, "Bob," is a cicada. They are sometimes called locusts, but it's not a true locust. They are harmless, but not too pretty =)
I think that I would rather have the bat! Man alive...what a bug

Oh, I am sorry for your temporary resident! He is a gross cicada, they make so much noise... I hate them too! You named him perfectly, Big Gross Bug. Maybe BGB and my former bat can be friends. Gross.
i must disagree with all of you who say cicadas are gross...although quite frightening when on your husbands shoulder or behind the blinds ;)
