:laughing From Potatobugs.com:

Q: Why are potato bugs so ugly and frightening? Why do they look part human? Where did they come from?

A: The most widely held belief is that God didn’t create potato bugs. It was Satan’s work. And amongst evolutionists and non-religious types, the consensus is that potato bugs came from outer space.

:laughing Somehow i don't think they're really a reputable source...

I am no entomologist but I don't think they're poisonous. They're all over Camp Pendleton.

on the 205 going by tracy picture fields on the side of the freeway getting tilled and about 50 billion of those jumping/flying over the freeway into traffic. when one of those hits your helmet at 70mph you feel like you just got nailed with a golf ball

I had one latch onto my sock in my laundry room when I stayed in SF. I thought I got hung up on some velcro until it decided to taste my big toe.
