@Meowpheel: Come on, giant cockroaches don't sound bad enough to you? Also, those things have one of the most painful bites a bug can give.

Well, they stay in their streams and lakes.

That reminds me....you know what I hate? Tussocks...>.>
They freak me out.

No, they don't. I'm from Guerrero and those bugs can be found on streets and in your house too. I guess that's because it's kinda tropical-ish there.

Oh heh, I live in BCS. No humidity here. Like, at all.

So no giant bitey roaches for us.

@Megumi: I hate almost all bugs, but those caterpillars are especially ugly.

@Meowpheel: You lucky norteños! Scorpions must be a normal sight over there though. And snakes maybe? Well, we have those in Gro. too, I even got bit by a (non venomous) snake once.

Now that I think of it, it's like a little Australia over there.

Good to know someone knows what those things are, didn't feel like posting a pic or something. xD
But yeah, I heard someone got bit by one of them as well, sounds scary. >.<

They're actually not that common in the city, but yeah I've seen a few scorpions and snakes. We actually had many small, innofensive snakes in the garden before... But our dachshund kind of... Hunted them all.

The rattlesnakes are more common in the roads between towns, they often lay there because they're warm and comfy. That often leads to squished snakes, poor things.

Haha yeah, little Australia.

There's a lot of ugly creatures in CDMX as well so... Yeah, I hate bugs.

Cara de niño is so UGH!

Pillbugs are ok though. >w<

And grasshopers (chapulines) taste really good with guacamole.

..........

I don't eat bugs either. At least not consciously

But yeah, fried/dried/something grasshoppers and crickets are common in central Mexico.

Haha, for real! I ate chapulines last year and they were sooo good. I'd like to eat fried mezcal worms, but those are a bit expensive. I've heard people say escamoles (ant eggs) are really tasty too.

My dad ate escamoles when we visited Hidalgo years ago, he liked them.

I just ate trout... Good, normal, non-bug trout.

...gets sick and passes out, butt in the air (you know, like how all anime girls pass out), lol x.x

@Megumi: They're tasty! I swear!

@Meowpheel: I've just eaten chapulines, so I don't know if all bugs taste that good, but I think it's nice to try new things once in a while. I love trying weird foods, while most have bad reputation, I end up liking them. e.g. Japanese nattou, korean kimchi, bugs, moronga (or morcilla), etc.

I ate some tacos de panza earlier (sheep meat and guts, and spices, all cooked inside a sheep stomach). Sooo good...

I'm very boring when it comes to food, when it comes from an animal, I only eat the generic meat. No heads, eyes, organs, hooves, tongues, guts or blood (by itself), etc.

And even then, the meat must be well done... No red inside.

Noooo! No more talking about eating bugs. x_x

Yuck, I can't understand why someone would eat bugs unless they were starving or they were forced to.

However, I've never tried them, so perhaps I'm missing out on something delicious.
