"I wish I was a fly on your wall"

[GoddessOfGuinness]

That's what the guy was singing on the Muzac box in the shop I visited this afternoon.

Uck! Can't he do better than that? I swat flies! I feed them to spiders, for cryin' out loud!

What kind of bug would you be, if you were on my wall?

2. Is this a real creature?

Do you have a pic? Does it really bark?

[King Of Paperboys]

3. Sure

Pull my finger, and you'll hear him "bark."

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. There must be some better answers out there...

[King Of Paperboys]

5. Fine!

See if I ever try to save your thread again!

Harrumph!

6. Thanks for trying , at least...

Guess I'm invisible today. :cry:

7. I wish I was a June Apple,

Hangin' on a tree
And every time the girls walked by
They'd take a bite of me.

--Uncle Dave Macon, somewheres around 1900.

9. I thought that was older...

Circa late 1800s.

I thought about that when I heard this "fly" thing, too...I'd rather be an apple than a fly.

CONSERVATIVE estimate!

13. Those kinda bugs

we could do without around here, thank you very much! :spank:

8. I'd be

one of them lightning bugs. You don't swat those do you? :-)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. I let them into my house...

They're amusing when all the lights are out.

I like that answer! :)

12. This is my nemisis...

I have found four of these wretched creatures in my studio today and I hate them. They are the ugliest things I've ever seen.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. It's a solfugid!

Someone had pics of those here in the lounge last summer. I'd neither seen nor heard of them before. They're also called "sun spiders" and "wind scorpions", though they aren't spiders or scorpions.

Thanks for the cool pic! :)

[Miss Marmelstein]

15. Here's another pic....

Here in Mexico they are called mata venadas or deer slayers. I just call them disgusting.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. They're supposed to be quite aggressive

And though their bite isn't poisonous, it's very painful.
