Huge Bug Found in Pool - What the hell is it? (SEE PICS) - GoFuckYourself.com

MadCat · 10-09-2005, 12:47 PM

Things was dead and drowned in my pool. I live in Southern California, but I've never seen one of these. Is it some kind of super ant? A mutant grasshopper?

Here's a closeup of the head...

PimpDaddyPants · 10-09-2005, 12:48 PM

Katsondaprowl · 10-09-2005, 12:49 PM

Oh hell no! If I saw that shit I would run my ass off. WTF is that thing?

It looks like a cross between an ant and a grasshopper, that's the scariest thing I've seen in months.

Theo · 10-09-2005, 12:49 PM

wtf is that? never seen such thing

abyss_al · 10-09-2005, 12:50 PM

thats a potato bug...

they live underground... these bugs randomly get a tumor, and when they do, their senses tell them to go find water... so they come up from underground in search of water and always wind up dead in puddles or in pools

Sarah_Jayne · 10-09-2005, 12:51 PM

Sad thing is both shots look like the photographer has porn shoot experience.

Dennis Rodman · 10-09-2005, 12:52 PM

"Commonly referred to as "potato bugs," even though they do not prefer potatoes and are technically not bugs, they are also called niña de la tierra (child-of-the-earth), stone cricket or chaco. Believed by some to be fierce and poisonous, this nocturnal cricket is actually non-aggressive and possesses no poison glands, although its jaws can inflict a painful bite."

I like the other answer better.

Jeez, my GF would shit (and so would I) if I saw that in the pool ;) I like how it is measured against a quarter and some sunglasses. Nice pics.

An Asshopper maybe?

V_RocKs · 10-09-2005, 02:26 PM

They do spit shit into your eyes if you get close to a live one... And the shit is like mace! Also they can shoot this milky goo a few feet. So if you get close to one and want to really check it out in its live state, leave you hand up near your eyes and see if you can put it infront of them before the goo hits ya... Talk about fun....

On another note... Anyone want to do a site, www.potatobugfacials.com ?

Sosa · 10-09-2005, 02:27 PM

That thing is a Jerusalem cricket, I used to catch a few of them out at Red Rocks when I was a kid, haven't seen one in years though.

The Captain · 10-09-2005, 02:55 PM
