Super Gross Bugs - Don't Open

EW. EW. EW. EW. There are bugs that have fecal shields. Like the outside of their bodies are dried poop. EW. And they look absolutely disgusting. BARF.

The one above has been parasitized by a wasp, but there's only one larva. The rest is poop. And normal.
Here is another one sans parasite

I am going to go scrub my brain and eyeballs now.

OMG. 

I don't understand why I even opened this.  Gross.

So I had to open this because not opening meant I'd just imagine all kinds of gross bugs.  I should have stuck with my imagination.

Does she have a bug fetish?

MrsLaLaBug

this is almost as freaky as googling "camel spider".

You told me not to open. YOU TOLD ME NOT TO OPEN.

Damn my rebel ways.

Are these the same things as camel crickets? They're like jumping spider cricket thingys, also called cave crickets. I hate those fuckers.

No.

But camel crickets are DISGUSTING too.

I would post a picture of a camel spider but I'd have to do it with my eyes closed.

Well, I'm stupid. I'm not that grossed out because I don't really get what I'm looking at. Where is the poop?

It's pretty much the entire bug's back.

SandyClam

Lol. It's the bug's. That would be even grosser if they collected other species' poop to use as a shield.

And yet I opened it.

Hell fucking no to camel spiders!!! 

shadypines

Ewwwwwwww

But I still opened it!!!!

Monkeybabe

I find it incredibly interesting.

Camel spiders are assholes. We called them sun spiders where I'm from, and they would come in our garage and generally be dicks while my sister tried to catch them to get them out of the house.

shadypines

I take that back. Actually went through the list and..... meh!!!!!

But first one...... ewwww

martha919

Yeah, I have to say I never thought I would see the phrase "normal fecal shield", like...ever.

But in the future, if you want to guarantee that I'll open a thread, put "don't open" in the title. I simply can't resist. ;-)

studyinpink

I googled camel spider. (

SandyClam

Motherfucker. Googled camel spider. I am putting the picture below because there are grosser things that come up in the image search other than a absolutely disgusting spider. SPIDER BELOW.

studyinpink

I think this one is worse.

ShakeyJakey

Holy fuck

SandyClam

@Studyinpink, isn't that 2 stuck together?

studyinpink

Yeah. Just put the size of them in perspective for me. Crazy!!

That pic was my first intro to camel spiders too. My friend emailed it to me, and I cried. Just a little.

Too late... thread opened :-&

You buttmunches. I just had to google and click on the bite images.

Weljadraak

Are we posting what creepies we hate the most? ...because giant centipedes are not something I ever want to see.

Monkeybabe

@redfirephoenix25 Sun spiders and camel spiders are the same type of spiders. They were significantly smaller in CA than the ones soldiers show from the  Middle East.

YOU HAD THOSE IN YOUR GARAGE?! I WOULD DIE. DIE.

thebanich

Why did I come back in here.

WHY

@Monkeybabe‌ , lol, if they were only that size, I can see chasing a few out, but when I googled camel spider and got that PP pic, I was like "THOSE WERE IN YOUR GARAGE?!? WHERE ARE YOU FROM? HELL?"

NarwhalBacon

I think wolf spiders came straight from the bowels of Hell. They are huge and will chase you. Those fuckers are fast, too.
