These 14 Bugs Found In Maryland Will Send Shivers Down Your Spine
Everyone in Maryland is currently babbling about their excitement for warmer weather. While I generally agree that summer time is the best time, there is one big benefit of freezing temperatures and that is NO BUGS.
Here in Maryland, we have hundreds of species of insects and arachnids. There’s a small handful of people who actually enjoy insects. And then there’s those of us who are still trying to invent a bug spray that repels creepy crawlies for 50 miles in every direction.
Here are 14 of the creepiest, most spine-tingling bugs in Maryland.
So. Many. Legs. WHY DO THEY HAVE SO MANY CREEPY LEGS?!
"Oh hey, you weren't using this corner of the room were you?"
The only direction it knows how to jump is TOWARDS YOU.
Stay away. Stay far away. Do not try to bribe it with money. It will not work.
Their erratic flying patterns are unsettling.
Their beady red eyes will be back this summer. Are you ready?
You can try to bribe this one with change. Results may vary.
This lovely lady who was spotted at the C & O Canal, is carrying A BROOD OF BABY SPIDERS ON HER BACK.
Similar to a Tim Burton movie, these look a lot scarier than they actually are.
"I am that bed bug you've heard so much about. You know, the one who bites you while you slumber?! Night night."
It's always shocking to spot one of these giant insects flying around. They're actually pretty cool.
It's basically a tailless scorpion. And it's basically your worst nightmare.
Often mistaken for a giant mosquito, these guys don't bite. Their elongated legs however, make them appear like Slender Man in insect form.
I can never quite figure out why earwigs are so disturbing. Is it the pincher? Shiny shell? Or the way I always assume one is in my ear?
I’m off to stock up on bug spray and pour hot Citronella wax on my body. Good luck, Maryland.
