 This was crawling on my bare foot earlier. I was not pleased. It’s called an Assassin Bug. Fuck that.

 @30700d9a I’ve heard of insects referred to as terrorists before but not assassins. Who knew?

 @30700d9a 

They're supposed to be great at getting rid of other pests, but I can't say I'd like one on my foot either. 

I keep finding these little guys in my house & have no idea how they're getting in. Shield bug, aka Stink bug.
