I just mean I know logically they aren’t harmful but my mind cannot. I’m not scared of spiders or lizards or snakes but those overgrown roaches strike absolute terror into my heart since I was little. I am so sorry you experienced that. I’ve had them fly at me.
So few of them around now, and my logical & rational fear is that is a bad sign for the world. But it has been amazing to be able to work in the yard without the constant fear of picking up a brick or stone, they used to come out from under every single upturned stone.
Palmetto bugs.
I grew up in Florida but I haven’t lived there in a long time and I had a visceral fear reaction to just reading the words “palmetto bugs.” AUGH.
In NJ they were 3 inches long, sleek and black and abhorrent. Ugh!
Bonk bonk they go into the windows! Fucking asshole bugs those are!
Not illogical. I was talking with a friend one night under a tree and had one fall on my face. Super gross.
