Summer of Bugs: Part 2

This post is mostly for Mrs and Dickens because "Summer of Bugs: Part 1" we all experienced together in Provo, 1999. It was a crazy fun summer and we had a blast all living together, the bugs wanted in on the fun to. One day, I think a Sunday after church, this monster bumble bee flew into the apartment. It was truly a battle to the death. We were swatting things around and it finally trapped itself in the light in the kitchen. Tricia was on the floor, under a blanket with a broom, swatting at it. It finally died and we stuck it in some container for evidence. Later that same summer we had gone on an early balloon delivery to a car dealership. When we arrived home there was a gigantic moth hangin' out on the wall by the sliding door, "where do these things come from!!". Tricia and Jessica both hate moths and butterflies and anything in that category. Liesl got a bowl and trapped it, we kept a book on top and I'll admit I think we shook the bowl a little bit, just to see what the moth would do. Finally we decided to end the moths life, but no one was willing to squish it or anything so we soaked a cotton ball with alcohol and put it in the bowl. I think eventually the moth and bee ended up together. I don't recal any other bugs that summer, but that fall for my birthday, Tricia and Jessica sent me a birthday package with wax lips and candy and all kinds of treats and one big suprise. There was a tupperware bowl in the box with some huge, weird looking bug with wings. It was dead. My roommates weren't so sure about these "friends" of mine. I thought it was hilarious.
OK, so back to the real purpose of the post. This summer we have had bugs to share. Every night you can, without fail, find a slug somewhere on the sidewalk or even climbing up the side of the house, if you don't see a slug you will see his slime trail in the morning. Huge slugs! One night when Bradon was leaving there was a slug, a millipede and a praying mantis all sitting outside on the doormat. Did they want in? I still don't know what that party was about. Then the other night when I got home from Brandon's parents house there was this gigantic, bright green, winged bug. I have no idea what it is or why it was there, but it was huge.
What is with all the bugs!
