Bugging Me


Anyone know what this bug is? We thought it was hand painted until we found a dead one exactly like it! He or she is beautiful and we are very glad Jeanette did not step on it!

Yes it's beautiful. Squish it now, hurry before it morphs back into a Chupacabra. Remember it's still Fri the 13th!:lol:

Those are GREAT pictures---that bug does look hand painted.

If I saw a ceramic bug painted like that, I would think it was beautiful, but also not an authentic reproduction.

Hope someone knows what it is---but you sure did a great job with the camera:yes::yes:

Longlegs you are always invited and that be the only bug you can't zap unless, of course, it bites, is poisonous, or is in the c-ckroach family!

Now, now, does that tiny little creature give you the creeps? Take your taser gun. :lol::lol:

Actually, how big is this beautiful creature? Chupacabra keeps flashing in my mind, thanks to Sharks. :lol::lol:

I assure you I would not handle a live bug! And even if I did like bugs, I cannot paint worth a darn! I just know someone will know exactly what this guy is.

At least 2 feet long and 30-40 pounds.



Sorry, the fisherman in me took over. About 1 1/2".

Someday you just may realize how useful c-ckroaches can be. (Always wondered where that term 'roach' came from. Oops, wrong kind of cigarette.)

That's it. A Giant Mesquite Bug.

Maybe it was 3 feet long and 40-50 lbs after all.

Thank you Big John and Aventurera: I guess I wasn't finding it because in my mind I kept insisting it was a beetle. When I searched beetles a whole slew of VW's came up! Ha! Thanks again, mystery solved.

That bug is beautiful. Just be cautious around it because it could be an undercover "Elitist Chump Bug” put out by the “Elitist Holier Than Thou, I Am More Entitled Than You Elitist Chumps" on Baja Nomad. Don't touch it because if it bites you will turn into one of the Elitist Chumps or one of their Sheeple ring kissing follower. Do not be a fence sitter anymore and get over and vote at: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=31848 Show the Elitists Chumps they no longer run the kingdom.

NOTE: Maybe the powers that be will see their way clear and move the poll over here to the Elitist side of the railroad tracks where it will get to see the light of day.
