What the hell is this?
December 7th, 2009 by Jeff Pearlman
So I live in New York, about 30 minutes north of Manhattan, and these bugs are all over my house. Not everywhere, per se, in a gross, they’re-taking-over-the-world sort of way. But I find one every other day, usually sitting on a blanket, hanging from a mirror. They’re winged and seemingly harmless, but I don’t recall ever seeing them before.
Any guesses?

Can’t help you with that Jeff, but we have the same problem. Every spring, these weird squishy centipede looking bugs show up in our house, one or two a day. My wife and I call them “despicable bugs”. I wish I had an entomologist friend to help me. Or more than 50 readers on my blog.

Jeff, can’t help you with what type of bug that is, but wow, your fingers are getting grotesquely large!!……8-)

Definitely a locus! Signifying one of the many plagues coming our way be for the final end of the world in 2012!

It’s tough to be certain based on the pic, but that might be a stink bug:

They are a type of cricket – we have them on Long Island too.

I think it’s terrorism.
