1. That's how you know it's for organic for realzies! (nt)

[OhNo-Really]

24. On the plus side ☺️

[lapfog_1]

2. Not to mention if there was Romain lettuce

in the mix.. and unsourced or sourced from Salinas Valley...

you needed to throw the entire thing away.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It's just a little more protein.

[Journeyman]

22. At no additional cost! . . .

[Ms. Toad]

4. Except that it's not a roach

From the shape it appears to be a stink-bug (or relative)

7. I concur. NT

[OhNo-Really]

10. I changed it to Insect

I’m so grossed out

[Ms. Toad]

14. I'm grateful that I don't get particularly grossed out by thngs like that.

Although I would be more disturbed by the roach - which is more of an indication of cleanliness issues in the packaging plant that a stinkbug would be.

[OhNo-Really]

25. It almost chewed it, spit it out. Ya that grossed me out

[LeftInTX]

40. Stink bugs are extremely common in vegetable gardens

They generally cause cosmetic damage, such as blemishes on tomatoes.

[Poeraria]

13. Kudzu beetle.

[Ms. Toad]

15. Those look to be more square-ish,

without the distinct triangular head this critter has.

[Kali]

17. not a beetle, some type of true bug

[LeftInTX]

32. Is it possibly a weevil?

This thing has a stylus like a weevil!

[Kali]

39. weevils are beetles (coleoptera) and go through metamorphosis, bugs (hemiptera) have instars

almost all true bugs feed by piercing and sucking (most are plant feeders but some are blood suckers and predators)

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. The shape of the head is a giveaway. But a variety of cockroach...

in the Pacific Northwest looks a lot like this little critter. I can understand the mistake.

And, yes, it's common sense to throw the contents of the whole package in the compost.

[A HERETIC I AM]

5. Well, look at it this way.....

Everybuggy's gotta be someplace.


Or...look at it this way;

[OhNo-Really]

11. 😂😂😂😂. She's my fav SNL

[MuseRider]

35. Perfect! That face. n/t

[tazkcmo]

6. Ironic isn't it?

You spit out the one thing that was safe to eat.

[superpatriotman]

8. Ha!

[OhNo-Really]

12. Rofl

[Cartaphelius]

9. Careful! Earthbound

may send you a bill for the unintended inclusion of protein...

[Kali]

16. nature is not sterile, it isn't even a cockroach

people really have no clue the work that goes into getting their perfectly packaged food to them

[Cirque du So-What]

18. Better than the tiny mouse a friend found in a bottle of Bud

after two mighty swigs and telling everyone, 'this beer tastes funny.'

[OhNo-Really]

26. Oh dear! That aweful

[madinmaryland]

36. So it didn't taste like piss? 🤮

[A HERETIC I AM]

44. The sentence following "This beer tastes funny" was.....

"and it also tastes a bit like a dead mouse has pissed in it"

[Ohiya]

19. Looks like a strink bug, be thankful you didn't bite it!

[edhopper]

20. Better than finding

half a bug.

[rampartc]

21. i'd defer to an expert with a better photo but my guess

leaf footed bug (genus leptoglossis) with a netter photo and a size scale I might venture a guess at species.

http://www.entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/orn/leaffooted_bug.htm

[LeftInTX]

31. I don't think it's leaf footed

Plenty of those around here!!

Too much green and I don't see their crazy legs.

However, I often use the term leaf footed and stink bugs interchangeably. Stink bug is easier to say. In a home garden they seem to do the same damage anyway and control is the same.

In commercial agriculture there is a difference, such as the brown marmorated stink bug which has become a menace

[rampartc]

42. without the leaf feet i'd agree with stink bug

I get stink bugs, but leaf footed bugs are usually all over my garden.

[G_j]

23. Stink Bug

they are everywhere

[madinmaryland]

37. The kudzu of bugs. It's going places!

[Codeine]

27. Meh. A little bug won't hurt ya.

Nature is a messy, dirty, smelly place, but all the good stuff comes from there.

[doc03]

28. Stink bug, did they charge xtra for it. nt

[Skidmore]

30. Insects live

on plants. Looks dead to me. Throw it away and wash the lettuce well. It's all good.

[mahina]

33. This.

I’m sure I’d be grossed out too. I’m not criticizing in anyway but I had to laugh remembering a couple on the beach that was absolutely apoplectic to see a jellyfish on the sand. As if this was some horrendous oversight. She probably mentioned there was a hotel built on one end. I think they came from there. They were really confused to why nobody else was alarmed. You can swim! Just watch out for a blue bubbles floating. I bet five dollars the manager heard about it when I get to the hotel.

What a pretty day too. It was the most lovely beach in the world just about. (Hapuna)

[Grasswire2]

34. I remember reading about a woman finding a garter snake head in frozen green beans.

And I am totally freaked by that.

TOTALLY.

[csziggy]

41. Poor snake

Think of how it must have suffered!

[roamer65]

38. Poor insect gave its life so you could have salad.

Be respectful of its body.

[Hekate]

43. Silly wabbit, that's how you know it's organic. ...

You know those packages of dried beans? The labels always warn you: This is a raw agricultural product. Pick over and rinse thoroughly.
