Learning that people here don't mean rollypollies when they say potato bug. This...
is a potato bug (aka Jerusalem Cricket or, as I affectionately refer to them, Killer Mutant Nuclear Scorpion Wasps!). The one I found was about 2 1/2 inches long. And alive.

I'm so glad you found that lovely little creature before it bit you! XO
So, the other day Becca was rolling around on the floor and I went to give her a drink and there totally was a bee crawling on her chest! I seriously almost had a heart attack. Once I finished screaming, I had the sense to flick it off her chest, trap it, and get it outside. I have no idea how it got in. Your stories crack me up. I hope you had a great birthday! Sorry I never called you that night. We came back late, I was feeling mega sick, and Becca was yelling her guts out. I miss you!
I'm so sorry Emily, it sounds like you are on a different planet. I wish you were closer to home so you didn't have to see those nasty creatures whether they be high schoolers or killer mutant nuclear scorpion-wasps!!! I'm glad you're coming home this weekend for a break!! BYE!
