They look like potatoes

Cicadas are honestly my favorite insect. They were a big part of my childhood, and one of the major reasons I went into entomology
>>713042620
It's called a potatoe bug

This summer, I had a window unit A/C. It had a gap, and bugs (mostly moths) would always get in.
One day I looked up at the ceiling, and there was a praying mantis just chilling out.
I nick-named him pray-mantu, and we became best bros, as he ate the fuck out of those annoying moths.
I'm right there with you anon They are awesome.
>>713043846
love those lil buggers lol my dad told me one of them jumped on him when he was outside in the patio drinking a beer
>>713041457
I own two of these little guys. Mantids make great pets.
>>713044184
Aww shit son. Motherfucking vinegaroons. I have one as a pet. 11 tarantulas and counting, and this thing is still the most voracious eater I've got. Drop a couple crickets in there and it loses its shit to catch them. One of the coolest pets I've had. Can be handled too, which is nice.
>>713043846
They are really cute
Walking sticks are my favorite bugs. I've only seen a couple, maybe because they're the masters of camouflage!

>>713044027
>>713045549
You are both fucking stupid.
No one but ignorant hill billies and eurotrash call them either of those names.
Their non-technical name is Roly-Polys.
see:
https://www.google. (delete this space) com/search?q=roly+poly&biw=1366&bih=634&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwiY2J6n0cXQAhXn24MKHY7hBrQQsAQILQ
When they are threatened they role up into balls that can roll around, the roly, which can be pulled open, the poly.
Stop spreading your ignorance.
>>713041457
i remember seeing one of these before just crawling around. I couldnt believe my fucking eyes
been wanting to start an ant colony, but waiting through the winter sucks. Can't find anyone selling queens around the 330

>>713045118
Ghost mantis.
>>713042620
I thought they were called potato bugs. Also they just look like big retarded ants
>>713042550
I'd eat that
This is a fucking roly poly. Anyone that says anything else is an uneducated nigger or stupid mestizo. No exceptions.
Also, this insect shouldn't be in this thread since they are the least threatening, least disgusting bug imaginable.

While I agree that moths are not threatening or disgusting, I have come across a fair number of people who are legitimately terrified of them.
Don't find them creepy but saw the tophat bug and wanted to post it too

>>713046990
Who in the hell could be afraid of a moth? They're fucking adorable. They're honestly the cutest god damned things I've ever seen. Cuter than any of the fellas I keep as pets. If I could afford the space I'd keep a whole bunch of them.
my pet. i call him snuggles.
>>713047096
True, but that's not the point.
The point is that the only correct non scientific name for them is roly-poly. Not fucking pillbugs, what the fuck pill looks like that? Not fucking potato bugs, I don't even know where the fuck that comes from. They are roly-polys, have always been called that and will always be called that by normal healthy people. Only mental rejects with supressed latent homosexual traits would try to spread disinformation by calling them anything else. Seriously, this fucking pisses me off. If people that don't call them their right fucking name (roly-polys) were a race I would totally reconsidered my opinions on genocide.

Non scientific name can be whatever the fuck they want it to be you retard, and naming it something else doesn't make someone else less intelligent. You grew up calling it one thing other people did calling it another thing. Does it really matter?
>>713046587
This...only bug that id let crall on me...well besides ladybugs
>>713049773
Those people who don't call it what I know as a matter of faith and knowledge to be its correct name should all die in hell forever. Just accept that you're wrong, stop calling it stupid things and everything will be fine.
>>713043324
I hate them. I don't mind the few that I see from non-brood species, but the broods are dumb as hell. They see everything as a tree, so the faggots won't stop trying to land on me while the swarm is in. And they killed my apples this year

I used to tie sewing thread around their necks, under the join. Two on each end of a thread, and they would fly up in circles for a few seconds.
Eventually one would have its head chopped off.

In 1st grade before school I found one crawling up the tree in my front yard, so I ate the sandwich I had for lunch and put him in the baggie. Then I had him in my pocket and watched him hatch out of his shell out of the corner of my eye through morning class and set him free at lunch. Really cool and it freaked out the girls

And when I found a way bigger mantis a few years later I kept it in a mouse house and fed it cockroaches. Let it go after a day or two.
Very cool and alien looking when they stalk, motionless except for the pivoting head.
Grabbed the roach in both spiky arms and chewed right through the middle. Good times.

I worked as a pool cleaner over the summer, and we use hydrochloric acid to balance pH in public pools.
Once I was pouring some into the pool and it got away from me a little, there was a walking stick chilling near the pool and the acid splashed on it
It started fizzing and bubbling (this acid will fuck up concrete) and when I went to look for the thing I couldn't even find a body. Only reason I knew it was a stick bug and not just a stick was because it started freaking the fuck out about the acid eating it alive, you know?

No, because I do my best not to agitate my pets. Same reason why the most I've ever gotten was some hissing from my roaches.
>>713056716
If people refuse to call roly polys by their one true name then they are deceitful, hateful and ignorant heretics that only deserve death. Accept the one truth or be purged.
>>713050948
I agree
>>713057164
It doesn't take much to agitate them. They all have different temperaments. I was just holding mine one day and out of nowhere it misted and it was awful.
>>713044749
Had a kadydid infestation in my house, those things are nigh impossible to exterminate once they settle in. Bug bombs didn't work as they had some sort of safe space to retreat to when their family members started dying. Diatom earth didnt seem to work either. Only time I've had to call a professional to exterminate an infestation.

>>713057844
Well, mine is still a baby, so I have no reason to hold it at all. But even when I clean the cages of everything the most I'll get is hissing from the roaches. None of my tarantulas kick hair or even show signs of stress, my millipedes are always just buried in the substrate unless they're eating, and my vinegaroon just sort of chills in the corner until I'm done. The roaches hiss all the damn time. They're either hissing at me cause I'm feeding them, cleaning their tank, giving them fresh water, or they're fighting. The only time I've ever seen any o my spiders stressed is when first got them or just after they molted. Other than that they're all super relaxed.
Fucking roly-poly I've never even seen a woodlouse roll around

>>713057145
You're clearly trolling at this point but I'll bite the bait.
The Wiki page on them has woodlouse as the primary name so I'm not sure where you're coming from with the bumpkin thing when it's clearly the consensus name.
As for psychopath it's normal for kids to go through an insect killing stage, going further than that or onto bigger animals is where it indicated being disturbed.
