I guess I could have written more about how some of these bugs are actually pretty useful to have around or how they play an important role in the circle of life. I could have mentioned how most of them are harmless (except the Black Widow, but we all know that). But why bother? Most of us already know all of that and are still weirded out by these guys. I just wanted to show you what some of your neighbors and roommates look like. Also, I hate cockroaches. I'd prefer finding a snake in my bathroom to seeing a cockroach skitter under the counter.
