Ugliest bug/pest/insect you've seen in person?

[.Layne.]

It's a house centipede. You're lucky, I've seen them about twice the size that appears to be.

Yeah, I think centipedes are the ugliest too. I had a few scorpions in my house when I lived in Arizona but they didn't bother me. I especially hate centipedes when I wake up and there is one on the ceiling right above me. I always think it's going to fall...

[Arkuski]

Took this video the other day. Watch the speed with which they move.

[Trogdor!!!!]

Why is nature so fucking horrifying

[adlp]

scariest bugs: wasps and cockroaches

[Arntonach]

Front porch is full of centipedes, grasshoppers, moths and such at night cause of the lights. Go Arizona.

House centipedes are mostly harmless. Start talking once you get some actual centipedes.

And yeah I've gotten both. I usually leave the house centipedes alone unless they're in the tub or my bed or something. I kill the real deal whenever they come around though.

Millipedes -- mostly harmless
House centipedes -- mostly harmless
Actual bigass centipedes (you'll know) -- exterminate with extreme prejudice.

Scariest insect I've seen was this giant stinging insect thing that I've still never found any pictures of exactly. I do know wasp spray didn't do jack to it except piss it off though.

Ugliest, I don't know. Depends what you consider ugly I guess.

[yo man im awesome]

My house is surrounded by holes made by Cicada Killers. They really don't attack humans (or anything other than Cicada's, for that matter) without being realllly pissed off, but I'd prefer not to find out how painful that'd be, since I've already seen one drag a lifeless Cicada into one of it's holes. These fuckers look like prehistoric wasps that live underground. And they've SURROUNDED MY HOME.

none of these were taken by me, obviously. I would NEVER go near one of these things.

According to wikipedia, a sting from a cicada killer doesn't hurt too bad

but yeah they scare the living shit out of me as well

Nah man, this one is really below average HAHA

[Wayward Vagabond]

Ugliest pest I've ever seen was ya mom

[samurai7694]

I wouldn't say ugliest but one that freaked me out (even more than cockroaches and wasps) were Carpenter Bees. I first saw them in Orlando and I freaked the fuck out because I've never seen an insect that big before in my life. Males don't have stingers but females do and I didn't want to get close enough to check.

I've never been stung by a bee or wasp before although I had a bad experience with a wasp once when it nearly went through my ear canal but luckily I took it out before anything serious happened.

i think the ugliest one i saw was pballs

House Centipedes are pretty bad though. I get them in here sometimes and having one crawl on you is a pretty icky feeling. They may be harmless but i doubt anyone will sit still if they saw one.

I'm not an arachnophobic by any stretch of the imagination, but there are a few types of spiders that creep me out. Wolf spiders are one of them, since they are hairy and sometimes carry their young on their back. I remember stomping one as a kid and having a bunch of little spiders pretty much shooting off of it. It was pretty gross.
