Here's where you post stories about the horrible big bugs you have had encounters with. Only the really nasty or weird ones, please!

Here is mine--once I was visiting a friend's place in the summertime, and some folks had put dishes of cat food out for the local stray cats. And these really slow roaches would come out at night--big ones!--and they would gather around the cat food trays. They moved real slow, seemed to be sleepy. And they would grab a piece of cat food and somehow CARRY IT AWAY to their hiding places. I saw this happening and I couldn't believe what I was seeing--they were struggling to carry these nuggets of dry cat food, but they were doing it, they were making off with them.

The cats were afraid to go near the bowls when the bugs were there, and would not be seen around the cat food at night.
