Indiana Bug

[__Doc_]

Has anyone noticed this RED and BLACK beetle looking things? I love in northern Henry and they are absolutely everywhere and the bastards wont die. I've been out here for 15 years and i've never seen them. Whats crazy is we had a huge problem with the lady bugs and now they are gone, but these are here to replace them. I'm assuming government testing/terrorists

Yep. Boxelders. Lots of 'em!

Annoying, but they don't really harm anything.

I was hoping this would be about those big things that look like a mutation between a spider and grasshopper. IDK what the hell they are, but they are UGLY and can JUMP. My mother's back yard shed has been an attraction for them for the past several years now. Never seen them before that.

I have heard them called "Democrat Bugs". You figure out why.

I've been seeing them things all over lately. I usually just pull out my 9mm and start shooting them. Darn Buggers. Its great target practice!!

I've got shotshell for almost every handgun caliber. I'll report back if I decide to blow a hole in my wall

We were infested with them yesterday, had a guy come out and spray all the walls etc, most of them are dead, a few ended up in the workshop.
For some reason they seem to prefer White and Silver cars, but don't seem to differentiate between a Volvo or a Porsche.

We would just let them get around the lights and use the electric carpet cleaning thing to suck them up. Can't spell vaccuummee.

You're obviously very new to firearms and an irresponsible gun owner if you haven't already shot at least one hole in every wall in your house.

Camel crickets, cave crickets, spider crickets. I call them spidickets. They especially like moist dark places. I had a winter set up in my barn where I could shut the water off, open one valve, and drain all the pipes after watering all the horses for the night. I hated draining those pipes. Spidickets everywhere. Completely harmless...just creepy looking and faster than a cheetah on speed.

That's funny. We had the same problem with lady bugs and now these. They are everywhere outside and we get several inside everyday. They make a horrible crunch when our lab catches and chews them.

I'm in N.E.Madison County and these red/black things are all over my garage door as we speak as well. Raid did'em in well enough, so did shod feet .Noticed many spider webs recently built just inside entry / garage door and tons of the lil buggars hanging in those. Finally spiders payin me back for stealin my heat!

Havent seen the odd ladybug things in several years, then poof these are here.

Yeah man. I shouldn't even own firearms. I'm trying to google which way the bullet goes in and comes out. Both ends look the same to me and the 9mm fits thru my GI 1911 -- so I assume it should work thru either end

You're obviously a complete ****ing idiot if you took my post seriously. lrn2humor bro

That sounds so delicious

FINALLY, I know what these little bugs are. Was doing some work at a guys house today and the back door, shaded area facing south, was covered with these things. He even asked me if I knew what they were.

 

[MrsXtremeVel]

Yup, they're everywhere here too! And when you squish em' they stink !
