binary suns Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 The turtle, of course. Unlike the rose, which is not an animal but still way cooler than the boring turtle Link to post Share on other sites
binary suns Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 JK turtles are super awesome and I might get one as a pet. Dunno yet not yet stable enough to have pets. And either way I'm gonna get a doge Link to post Share on other sites

divided_sky Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 I think most blood sucking parasites are pretty low on the list. Mosquitoes, ticks, leeches. We actually call people who contribute nothing but rely on others to take care of them leeches. That's pretty low Anything that feeds on feces Link to post Share on other sites

StormySky Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Ticks, mosquitos, and other disease ridden suckers. (Literally, suckers) Also, geese. Geese have anger issues. They just strut around in all the ponds and parks, sh!t all over the place, and are vicious to anyone who questions their dominance. Link to post Share on other sites
Tanwen Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Mosquitoes definitely - I'm a mosquito magnet, they'll fly for miles to feast Geese are different though, I'll put in a good word for them The Romans used them as an early warning system instead of dogs and this makes me Link to post Share on other sites

But I can definitely agree that any type of bloodsucker totally sucks. They, on the other hand, serve very little purpose other than the most gruesome kind of population control.

Yeast Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Insects can be rather loathsome. Parasitic wasps lay their eggs inside other insects and the grubs consume their hosts from the inside out. Flies are probably the worst. Screw worms are absolutely gross. The maggots prefer living tissue and have rings of spines around them so they can't be removed. They were eradicated in some areas by raising tens of thousands of sterilized males. The females mate only once and sterile males don't produce young. The worst of all is the bot fly. Adults resemble bumble bees for protection but the female can't approach her host because of this. She grabs a mosquito and lays her eggs on it. When the mosquito bites, the maggots hatch and burrow into the skin. The larva then grows to its full size which I believe is nearly an inch. These tropical insects attack people as well as animals. Bacon can be used to kill the larva. It needs to breathe and does so by cutting a hole in the skin. The bacon prevents the maggot from breathing and it soon dies. Link to post Share on other sites

StormySky Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Wasps are also huge jerks. They sometimes eat other insects while they are still alive. A bunch of times, I've been stung by wasps when I was just walking by, unaware. Some wasps have stung me multiple times. At my grandpa's place, there were these wasps that used to persistently build their nests under the playground slides even though they got spooked and stung kids who went down the slide.

Lichley Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Blob fish are pretty gross. No offence but they’e really not nice to look at, and they’re covered in their own mucus as well. Link to post Share on other sites
RoseGoesToYale Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Cockroaches. They have hair on their legs, and they're bugs. Only mammals should have hair on their legs. And they move at 90 miles an hour... what even??? Link to post Share on other sites
Fantastic Name Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I love animals, but a lot of them can be jerks sometimes. Dolphins are cannibalistic, for example. Chimpanzees have been known to start wars amongst each other. (There are probably many more but I can't think of them right now.) Link to post Share on other sites

They're little bandits that do nothing but cause huge trouble. Also mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, and hamsters. I actually like hamsters, but where the heck do they come from? How does every pet shop in existence have them, but nowhere else on the entire planet? Link to post Share on other sites

Those microscopic little buggers can't be seen when they bite the inside of your skin in large numbers as you roll around the grass innocently during the summer picnics that last until nighttime...

Grumpy Alien Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Wasps/hornets. They're just assholes trying to look like bees, which are a blessing. Wasps/hornets are not a blessing, they are a Satan incarnate. What the hell are chiggers? That sounds like a bad word. Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Memphis Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Chiggers live in the grass. The burrow into your skin and feed on you. They cause small, incredibly itchy bumps, and they're hard to wash out of your skin due to the depth they reach when they bite. Link to post Share on other sites
