I resist the urge to kill spiders because I hate mosquitoes even more.
I swear one of my cats can smell these fuckers.
Or they're just noisy on some level, and I don't wanna think about that.
Creepy. And I learned something. Reminds me of another comic strip that cracked me up. The gist:
God said to the insects "you may each pick three traits." The millipede said, "I want legs!" The centipede agreed. God nodded. "And for your second trait?" The millipede smiled brightly and said "More legs!" The centipede request the same. God asked for their final request. "More legs!" The millipede shouted smiling even brighter The centipede gave a sinister grin and growled. "Teeth."
I wish I had a couple of these guys. Nothing else I've done has gotten rid of the roaches in this shit-ass apartment. Might as well try more bugs.
How could anyone look at that cute fucker and say such a thing?
these mfs are usually a canary in a coal mine. if you start seeing these everywhere in your house, chances are you have roaches.
What kind of insect is that? I can't think of anything with that many legs that eats cockroaches.
Insects have 6 legs. If I had to guess its a centipede drawn with too many legs per segment.

Commonly known as a house or carpet centipede.
The drawing is pretty accurate.
Silverfish?
Are there silverfish big enough to eat roaches?
Makes me wonder if we ever do meet intelligent aliens will we instantly try to kill them not because we're a tribe based war loving species, but if it's simply because we're so absolutely and deeply repulsed by something so different than us on an instinctual level.
Or, as various sci fi stories have laid out, will they immediately try to kill us, because they are an insect based race and we are dealing with drones that only follow basic instinct, and we’d need to commune with the queen or some such to get them to understand that each of our species has a consciousness and free will, and we don’t exist in a hive mind
It's fine, we'll train a ten year old prodigy to kill their entire race.
Speak for yourself, I exist in a hive mind.
That's the plot of Starship Troopers.
Have you ever met a Belgian? Same thing
