Do you ever have a web site, or type of web site, that you just can't escape... and you come back to, like, once a year?
For me it's bug identification sites. Whenever I find a new bug in my home, I wonder what it is and what it's eating and why it's hanging around, and I end up googling until I find a likely candidate. I always end up on What's That Bug (and similar sites) and can't get away! It's all creepy and fascinating. I admire all these bug lovers who write in.
Oh oh... I see they have a "Worst Bug Story" page. I feel it sucking me in! Ahhhhh...... I once spent a whole afternoon reading about people who get "delusional parasitosis" where they think they have invisible bugs all over them that no doctor can help them with, and it drives them nuts.
I'll spare you and not post any pics.
Where would I be without you?

I am NOT good with bugs. I have a deep aversion to anything in the beetle family.
This article actually, literally, gave me nightmares: http://www.cracked.com/article_15816_5-most-horrifying-bugs-in-world.html
When I think of what a perfect world would be like, some of these bug-behaviours just don't make it! I think they must be evidence of the Biblical Fall concept ;-) ... Along with the violence in all of creation and animals hunting one another etc..
The entire concept of the Alien series is based on another hornet that lays its larvae in a living grasshopper or moth or something... ugh!
