June Bugs

Bloozcrooz · 03-29-2011, 08:38 PM

A problem in Texas even in the end of March are June bugs. Also can make for quality redneck entertainment with a bug light. Watching them fly to their death while enjoying a 30 pack of beer can be quite electrifying...in both senses. Along with the mosquitos and other pesky bugs. Didnt know if anyone else was as easily amused as me. Or if the June bug infestation was merely a Texas thing.

I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. I'm not even sure if June bugs live here. We do have beetles, though.

We get those here. I called them "clicky bugs" when I was little because they crashed into things and made clicky noises. That's how I knew that one had gotten into the house.

I fucking HATE June bugs.
Why is it that out of all the flying creatures on this earth, they are the most inept at aerial navigation? Or do they just enjoy crashing into your head, or other body parts, or straight into walls? They generally seem like the most purposeless bug ever invented, to me. Dumb, inadequate, and if any any insect predators actually find themselves at the bottom of the barrel and feed on them, they're only doing so for a short period of time.
I don't get it. They're the most retarded of all bugs, in my book. I don't know how they survive as a species. Maybe it's because all the creatures in the world have standards.

you ****ing crack me up man...I forgot your from cajun country so you know all about it. Do you enjoy the hours of bug zapper entertainment as well? Yall have monster mosquitos I know...we use to make it a guessing game as to whoever could predict which bug was going to fry the longest upon his landing. The loser having to down a beer....good cheap fun.

Never had a bug zapper. But there were times where I considered loading up the shotgun and just going buck wild.

Lol...a deep seeded hatred for june bugs indeed man

I have a hatred for June bugs, cockroaches, and regular roaches. All other bugs, I am perfectly fine with, and even enjoy having around me. Except for stink bugs. Especially the large ones that we, in our youth, called "daddy stink bugs". Their legs were long and menacing. They could fly, land, and crawl on you with great maliciousness and propensity for grossing you out. Those were another feared enemy.

I remember the stink bugs as a child...waiting till my buddies werent looking and tossing them onto them then smashing the bug while it was still on them so the odor was smeared onto their clothes. June bugs were like that too...wait then toss them at a friend...its incredible how loud the noise they make is if they fly anywhere close to your ear. Even today my buddies still act as if they were being attacked by a taradactyl or something. Especially if they are borderline passing out..heh
