It’s true, there were two small orange ladybugs that were casualties of the very hot halogen bulb. Other than that it looked like one fly and assorted bug bits. I now have two comics about killing ladybugs.

Nothing livens up a little unbearable heat and humidity like mosquito bites. Yay!
When I got home on Thursday I couldn’t help but notice FLIES EVERYWHERE. Okay, maybe not everywhere, they were mostly huddled around the nearest light source which happened to be above my desk. I think I have very good hygiene and even though I cook I’m good about not leaving food out. That being said, maybe there was a fly getting freaky on some trash that I waited a day or so too long to take out and this was the end result. Seriously though there were maybe a dozen flies, it was gross.
At first I was just trying to get them in the air which I did get at least five or so midair. The easiest ones were the ones that landed on a flat surface which were quickly dispatched. I have no direct way of measuring, but I’m pretty sure since I’ve been taking kung-fu for the last year that my reflexes are better and aided me in my quest to rid my apartment of the fly infestation.
Though after some initial struggling I turned off most of my lights except for my halogen floor lamp and they sort of flocked there leaving me alone. I even opened all my windows but none of them seemed to want to leave. The halogen did manage to fry one of them like I thought it would and when I went to sleep I think a few had flown out the window. Last night there were maybe four or so, as I write this there’s one left which I’m looking to fix before I go to sleep.
Yes, that’s right. I’m a certifiable ladybug killer. I was in my kitchen when I felt the brush of a bug on my arm so of course I instinctively slapped it with my hand, and found out it was a ladybug. If I hadn’t slapped it so hard it might’ve had a fighting chance because of its shell, but such was not the case.
And now that I think about it, if roaches were prettier it would only help them out on an individual basis, because large amounts of any bug is really a horrible goose bumply sight to see. Actually, that goes for any kind of vermin of a certain size. If it were dozens and dozens of puppies that would be fine, but oodles of rats or something is just yuck.
Every now and then I turn on my water in the morning and it practically drips. Pathetic enough that even washing my hands takes a little longer.
No this never happened to me. Not much else to say, I must’ve had a bunch of mosquito bites at the time.
