They are great jumpers and can run like 30 mph. We use to get Scorpions and Camel Spiders and bet on the fights..
Bugs and humidity from tanks

Your storys are funnier than mine! Lol
I've had an issue with those huge flying bugs, I call them male mosquitoes, but I think they are really called mayflies. They like to fly at my face when my hands are in the tank. I have to step on a chair in order to do it, so you can imagine how many times I've almost fallen on my butt and how much wonderful language I have used. I just wish my cat was good for something! She sees a bug and just looks at it like 'oh, well would you look at that...'. Bugs just creep me out in general, I see one in the house, and I feel like they are all crawling on me
You're thinking of crane flies. Look like big skeeters.
Most bugs don't bother me, except for bees and wasps. I stepped on a yellow jacket nest when I was younger and got stung all over, they were all over me. Whenever one gets near me I go all ninja and try to dodge, run whatever I need to do to get away lol

In the early spring we get these big hairy brown spiders in the house. People call them wolf spiders but I don't think they are. Anyways, there was this huge one in the house. This guy was so big he scared the cats. I caught him under a bowl and slid a piece of cardboard under it and carried it out to the porch, set down bowl paper spider and all on a table, removed bowl and stepped back into the house. That thing was so big. I swear when he jumped off the table he made a very loud, audible "THUMP". I'm not afraid of spiders but that gave me the shivers.
I have a story from when I still lived at home with my parents. I have very long very curly hair that things seem to get stuck in like Velcro. I came home late one summer night a tad tipsy. Went into the bathroom and ran my fingers through my hair and pulled out a "leaf". I then go to the living room. About 5 minutes later I hear my mom in the bathroom screaming bloody murder. My dad and I got to the bathroom at the same time. My momma had her selflocked in the shower stall sobbing hysterically while a very bewildered and confused bat sat on the bathroom scales. Needless to say the leaf was a bat. Dad and I toweled the bat and set him free. More poor mom had a phobic fear of anything she deemed "mouselike". I love bats... Absolutely adore them so it did t bother me that much. I'm sure my tipsy-ness didn't help the situation any.
