I am terrified of bugs, too!! There are very few I can deal with like butterflies, caterpillars, worms... generally things that don't bite are ok. Aw, it would've been cool if you added an interesting fact about ANYTHING! But, happy myLotting!

My source is my 10th grade Biology teacher, Ms. Blanch. She is fascinated by bugs and anything to do with nature. You can ask her, if you like, lol but I don't even think she's teaching anymore. It was also in my textbook. It stated other interesting facts about flies and other different animals. Another interesting fact about flies is that their estimated life span, according to the text, is only 1 day before they are killed by something or someone. That's kind of sad. But, what I would want to know is exactly what is a fly's purpose in the world other than food for spiders or other bugs lol. As far as for other facts that were listed under this discussion, in order to find that out, I guess you'd have to ask those specific individuals.... No interesting facts to share?? Ok... Thanks for commenting, anyway!!

Yuck!!! I can't think of any gross interesting fact, although I'm sure I probably have them in my head somewhere stored. I guess my interesting fact would be that if you eat grapefruit and take certain medicines that you can OD or have a bad reaction.

Hahahah that's really gross, ew! I don't think I want to know the exact actions meant in your "uses the bathroom", right? The funniest fact I know: the ears of a cricket are located on the front legs, just below the knee. Can you imagine having ears below your knees?
