the death bug

[TheFontMaster]

Around here where I live there are theese bugs that on of my friends named the death bug. It's actualy called the datsun bug, but this thing is one bad *** bug. It was like 5 inches long. And it flew and had like these giant pincher things on the front of it. Un fortunatley I ain't got a pic of one, but they look like they could kill someone.

[Big400EX]

I think I know what your talking about, we have them in this part of New York too. A lot of unusual bugs drowned in the fountain we have in our formal garden. And I am the one who has to go around with the net taking them out.

Lmao.:eek2:

lol

[TheFontMaster]

Is the back part of them like long and have wings on them. And when you sqush em green stuff comes out.

[Big400EX]

Yeah, they are really ugly and have pinchers and have wings.

O trust me this aint no damn praying mantis!!!! This thing aint green ether. They are bronish or white.

[Punk'd]

i c those alot (praying mantis's)

[Big400EX]

Nope, it's not a praying mantis. Those things are cool to watch and I would never kill one, plus my dad likes them when their in his garden becasue they kill some of the harmful bugs and stuff. It's actually illegal to kill them, cause they are so rare. I think the last time I saw one was last year.

Yeah, my favorite is Exriders.

You are closer than the prating mantis, but that still aint the deathbug that I am talking about. The death bug doesn't have the hard shell like that one.

I seen something like that around here but it was pure black and the pinchers were verticle instead or horizontal..it was pretty big too.

[Flynbryan19]

I know exatly what your talking about, but I don't have any pics of them. And they DO bite!!:eek2: My father got bit by one and he said it hurt pretty bad. They are a predatorial bug. The males have REAL long front pinchers, and the females have short ones. They're probably about 3 inches long, black, and have pinchers....O and they FLY!:eek2: Pretty freaky lookin' things...

[bansheeguy77]

this thread brings back bad memories lol. i seen a few of those *******s a few years back and scared the living hell out of me. the pinchers are so big and the bug is too. thank god for a sledgehammer :)

[SGA]

Huge bug, big pinchers, could kill a man, etc, etc. It this what you saw in your yard?:bandit:

[Flynbryan19]

Thats the closest yet. But it had pinchers and no antana, and the pinchers were horizontal.

Flyinbrian and banshee guy seem to know what I'm talking about, but these bugs can get to be bigger than 3 inches long. Much bigger. Like I said one that i saw was probably close to 5 or 6 inches long.

[Big400EX]

Yeah they are really ugly, and have wings. I gotta remember to take a picture of one the next time I run across one. We seem to have all kind of stuff in our garden.:o
