S.O. AAA. - The Klingons Are Here
Posted by Andy on May 23rd, 2007
What in the heck is this?
I ask because one landed on my shoulder the other night which lead to this description to someone via email.
He [Lugnut] wanted to come back in, so i opened the screendoor, and a huge effing Klingon hits me in the cheek and lands on my shoulder. Panicking, I start jumping around like a little girl, and slap the Klingon to the floor. I did the creepy icky shudder two step for a moment (think Ace Ventura in #2 with the bats), and the effer just sat there.
I grabbed a napkin, and tossed it on him. It didn’t move. I hoped Rufus would eat it, but he too was scared. (probably from my dancing around like a pansy. )
So I tried to pick up the Klingon with the napkin, but it was clinging to the rug like it was woven into it. I had to really pull hard. I finally got the effer and could feel his talons and pincer thingy like legs or whatever squirming around and in one motion, opened the screen door and threw the napkin outside.
Luggers then was scared of my little girl like behavior, and hasn’t looked at me the same since.
and tonight it is back trying to get inside my house.
Should I call Homeland Security?
The thing is about an inch and a half long with fierce pincher or claws that look like they can penetrate flesh or puncture a jugular.
Help!

I’m so proud. Tear.
Goodness, it’s not a creepy, creepy spider. Just a regular old ground beetle.

It sounds like a stag beetle or a close relative…

WIMP!!!!! You definately would not have liked life in the Logical Household last fall when the Junior Logician had to do a “bug project” for science class. We had to catch and kill AND MOUNT all sorts of insects into a poster……..

Oh - the Junior Logician concurs with Nordeaster - definately a stag beetle.
