Question answered. Thanks.

That is not a f*cking critter! Damn it! It's a Wheel Bug (Arilus cristatus) and only found in very dirty places! They also have a painful bite (worst than wasp stings) and are generally hostile.

Are their bites poisonous? Mine walked super slow like a praying mantis and my friend had one on her car mirror that same day!

[MCheetah]

It says online they are not poisonous, but hurts very much and the pain of a bite will last a week or two.

That’s called a Arilus Cristatus. Hope that helps. Search it up.

[bzcxx]

Let me know if I’m right

Sail-back Dinosaur Bug (Wheel Bug) - Arilus cristatus

Wow. How’d you figure this out?

[bzcxx]

Well you can find anything out with some research these days! Everything is on the Internet!

[Asker]

Mhmmm

I’m pretty sure that’s a stink bug. I seen them all the time once I moved to the country.

They walk slowwwww, and can fly, but it’s also a bit slow, yet they look blurry when they do fly 😂.

[Rosexøxø]

Oh my bad, close resemblance.

That is in fact a Seed bug.

I had to check for sure. They look alike, but not two versions of the same exact species. Same family, though.

[Asker]

Def not a stink bug.. I know what those are

[Rosexøxø]

Yeah seed bug 👌

[Rosexøxø]

That’s my second bet

[HorggleThorp]

That’s a pretty cool bug. There’s a subreddit that allows you to get help to ID insects.

[JosyJosy]

That looks like an assassin bug. Cool name if you ask me

Oh wow you unblocked me

[Asker]

Oh wait I’m anonymous

[Asker]

Hahahha

[BeMuse]

There's only forty-five thousand people you could be...

[Asker]

Well that’s cruel

[BeMuse]

I’m just being honest… At face value I have no clue who you are. Based on age and user color a quick scan indicates you could be many different people, some of which are listed... I could kick the can a little bit to get you to talk and then use natural language processing to identify sentence length, words per sentence, punctuation characteristics, and general vocabulary usage to determine who you really are based on your writing style, but I don’t really care that much… You wanted to know about a bug. I told you about a bug. That’s a simple enough conversation, no need to turn it into a drama...

Omgosh you blocked amanda.. ugh. You’re actually making it easier for me to not care that you blocked me now. I know exactly why You blocked me 2 years ago and you’re resiculous

[Asker]

ridiculous *

[BeMuse]

Why do you think you were blocked?

[Asker]

You gave advice to a very young girl who was complaining about her father not putting her desk together when she wanted him to and you told her to put it together herself and I forgot what I said but I “@bemuse”ed you lol

[Asker]

Literally 2 years ago

[BeMuse]

I never block people because I give advice, so obviously you have no clue what you're talking about.

[Asker]

No, that’s not why.. I think I remember criticizing you because of your brutal honesty but agreeing with you at the same time

[Asker]

Anyway, you lost a prospective influencer slash days of laughter and fun because you’re too sensitive.

[BeMuse]

There you go... now I know why you got blocked. I block all influencers and mods.

[BeMuse]

I had a strong suspicion you were an influencer because of how over concerned you were about someone blocking you. Influencers are narcissistic as hell. They need everyone to pay attention to them. They can't stand for a minute a difference of opinion. The entire universe has to revolve around their simple minded opinions that are most often disconnected from reality.

[BeMuse]

Now you know... Hopefully you get some closure over that hangup and move on with your life. People are just talking here. Not everyone wants to be part of a hive mind echo chamber.

[Asker]

Damn. You need to learn how to be more forgiving. I’d be scared to lose you like I’d be walking on eggshells and glass and thin i e if you were at all in my life.. then I’d wake up and be like “nahhh I can’t live like this.. tOotleS..” Ps: im not an influencer im the eyes of GAG

[Asker]

In the eyes*

[Asker]

You’re not following one single soul… you obviously have trust issues.

[BeMuse]

Forgive what? Me blocking people isn’t out of anger or me holding a grudge. It’s simply a way to filter out nonsense and focus on what is more interesting to me. If their was a way to ignore sets of users without actually blocking them so as to reduce interaction, then that is what I would do with mods and influencers. That feature doesn’t exist on this site, so I adapt to make my user experience more enjoyable. You take followers, blocks, likes, etc. way too seriously in my opinion. You don’t even know me in real life. For all you know, I could be a sophisticated bot written by a computer scientist. Social media crap isn’t the center of everyone’s life. We’re not all trying to follow and get followed. We’re not all seeking attention and the approval of others. People have different perspectives on life.

[Asker]

I love you🖤

I never seen that bug before I looked up a sail back crazy lol
