When our dog was still alive I used to take her for walks several times a day. When it was cold I used to wrap up in my son's coat because it was warm and cozy.
One evening, as I was approaching home, I felt the label of the coat scratching my neck. I tried to adjust it with my free hand, the other one being busy with the dog's lead. I rapidly discovered that the label was moving around. A lot.
I put on a mighty sprint, which involved jumping down the four steps to the front door, dragging the poor old dog behind me. She and I crashed through the front door at the same time, she landed on her nose while I stripped all my clothes off as fast as I possibly could (it was a record, let me tell you) until I found the moving label. This was it.
It was ENORMOUS. And it was angry. And it's antennae were red. And they were whizzing around so fast, they were a blur.
It's Doodle Week, and today it's a bug.
Oh noes! Red, twirling antenna must be a bad sign. I am glad you did not get stung.
ReplyDeleteThat insect sounds scary. I once found a shield bug on my neck, and squashed it. Now I know why they're also called stink bugs...
ReplyDeleteOoh that looks awful, and would have made me do a 'spacky' dance all over :O(
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that bug was either, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't want it on me! Ick! Gave me a shiver just to read your post. Thanks for visiting Pentimento today and looking at my Doodle Bug. BTW, I like your comments set up. Very easy.
ReplyDeleteI get huge brown bugs that can fly here. I tried to look them up and the only thing I could really find is that they might eat wood. One thing I know, if you squish them they stink. Happy doodling. :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, that gives me the absolute heebie jeebies!
ReplyDeleteWhizzing antenna on my neck would creep me out, no matter what color! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteyikes, that was probably itchy..just thinking about it now, makes it all itchy for me too. why do ants, bugs etc. do that?
ReplyDeleteToo funny! That reminds me of the time a friend of our son's came in our house and in the middle of saying hello, proceeded to do what looked like a touchdown dance in our entry and then started stripping his clothes off. Turns out he had acquired one of those huge orange spiders on his way under our arbor out front, and it was crawling down his back!
ReplyDeleteLove the drawing btw!
