These 9 Bugs Found In Texas Will Send Shivers Down Your Spine
What’s that scuttling noise? Did something just run over my foot?
They lurk in the shadows, hide in nooks and crannies where you’ll never find them (but they’ll find you easily) and make your life miserable with their mere existence. Here are 9 of the most vile creepy-crawlies in the state of Texas.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
Doesn't this guy look friendly? Although harmless, they can leave nasty blisters all over your body by just spitting on you. This is a creature I'd rather not mess with.
At first glance, these could pass for miniature potatoes with sprouts...until they start moving. Their name doesn't even begin to describe the horror of their existence.
If this awful creature couldn't get any more spine-tingling...here's a picture of a colony of them. You're welcome.
We're all familiar with these guys here in Texas. He's kinda cute, isn't he?
Everything is bigger in Texas...including our bugs.
This giant thing is a spider. Apparently, when they fall over, they can't get back up because their bodies are too big.
I had the pleasure of experiencing an infestation of these fellas a few years ago. Not fun.
Watch out for these guys. They may be small, but they can be deadly as well. If you see a red marking, stay away!
If you've seen Arachnophobia, you know not to get near these uglies.
If you need me, I’ll be hiding under my sheets…for the rest of my life. Do these bugs send shivers down your spine? What other creepy insects can be found in Texas? Let me know in the comments below!
