I think it was one of these guys. We've been leaving the light on in the courtyard at night and I wonder if that attracted it.<br /><br />Our house is almost wide open all day long, and at night several doors are just wrought iron gates. No screens since mosquitoes aren't much of a problem. So now I am all itchy and feel like I need to tear the bed apart (even though it's upstairs and not near a bright light) <br /><br />It is time for pest control to come again, I will tell them I think I saw them. Thanks for the heads up.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016075941355264454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-78933341262727087922009-08-21T23:48:32.807-05:002009-08-21T23:48:32.807-05:00That is some scary looking bug!

The problems is in the feces from the bug that you rub into the wound when you scratch the bite.<br /><br />If you have a few cucarachas under the sink you have many unseen. Get some borax powder and sprinkle it under the sink. It won't hurt you but it will sure kill the cucarachas. Also, put some bleach in the water that you wash your floors with. That will kill the tiny creatures that the cucarachas feed on.

Since you're the one who's seen it, maybe you could clarify. Is it, for instance, bigger than a tick? Also, does it fly?1st Matehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276608080436409432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-64545375840620160942009-08-18T00:37:53.696-05:002009-08-18T00:37:53.696-05:00Hi, Bob - Thanks for bringing this up again, espec...Hi, Bob - Thanks for bringing this up again, especially since this bug is going to be more evident now. I'm guessing from the lower photo that he's slightly bigger than a mosquito. Haven't seen anything like that here in the desert, but I will certainly be on the alert now. Rather elegant-looking bug, isn't he? Looks like he was carved or cast out of metal. Oh, no! It's a terrorist robot bug!
