*** Q. What is the WORST insect? ***
« on: April 04, 2016, 10:02:58 am »
Since most people don't know the background context of these polls, I should mention: we were discussing in Discord if any insects has trolled someone out of a run. I think I just remember Grav saying a gnat trolled him out of a run but anyways this leads to an interesting question: which insects are the most annoying? You can pick any two and as always, if you vote for the last option please specify which insect.

VOTE! :nesquik:

I have been trolled out of runs and playing well by random flies buzzing around and landing on the screen (the only bright object in the room.)  That being said in Canada, mosquitoes are our only worry, so I voted them.

Flies are pretty annoying but mosquitoes sure take the price. In northern Sweden, sometimes it's impossible to even go outside because there are so many mosquitoes in the air, especially in the swamp areas. Mosquitoes are much easier to kill, though.

I haven't been in one of my bathrooms for over a week because Greg the Cunty Spider has taken it over. Not the first one I've seen in my shower, but Greg is easily the biggest spider I've ever seen. I bought new shampoo/conditioner/toothbrushes because if I go back in there to grab them I'm afraid he'll flank me and break containment.

I'm gonna go for spiders, because my campus is getting INFESTED with large spider webs. I mean, they're probably grey-ish harmless ones but something to think about.

Mosquitoes are only a minor annoyance. Cockroaches are incredibly unsettling for me despite their harmlessness. My other vote goes to fucking Yellow Jackets. You guys ever been stung by those things. Its incredibly fucking painful

Got to be mosquitoes.  They serve no purpose and are an enormous vector for diseases of all types.

Never really faced a cockroach problem in the area here minus one customer on 2014 who had roaches scatter from underneath their old bed.

No question to me the worst insects are wasps. They are assholes who don't even pollinate our beautiful flowers, and they try to nest constantly on my East wall outside.

Coming from the northern part of Sweden, it would have to be mosquitoes.

Stink bugs hands down https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_marmorated_stink_bug

Fuckers live nearly year round and obviously killing them comes with consequences, not to mention they are louder than buzzing bees when they fly around
Tend to swarm in the winter months and build nests in homes, can crawl under windows like most pests

Once had an OoT 100% run cancelled from a stink bug who landed on my 64 on top of the cart, when i reached over to hit him off it crashed the game  :( :( :( :(

From the article "In one home more than 26,000 stinkbugs were found overwintering" WTF mate
