From The Item, February 24, 2012 Sterling Police Log
Thursday, Feb. 16
6:33 a.m., person is petrified of a long wiggly bug in her closet, transferred call to animal control. It was recommended using a vacuum cleaner to remove it, but she didn't want to go near it. An officer will assist when available. The bug was not found and she will call if it returns.
Wow. It never would have occurred to me to call the police on a bug. It's a bug, not a criminal. I have yet to meet one that can best the shoe - just step on the wiggly thing already. If you have to be all girly about it, get your cat or call your husband/boyfriend/ son/ male neighbor/brave girl friend to rescue you from the scary bug, but leave the police alone.
We have been seeing stink bugs in J's room lately. At least I think they are stink bugs. I had to look up the scoop on the name and apparently if you surprise them they make a stinky smell. Hmm..I know some people who do that. I am going to put the 10-year-old scientist on the task of scaring a bug to make it stink and report back to you. To think some people call the police instead. Shameless.Did you know that you can go to What's That Bug and submit a picture of your bug and they will tell you what it is? I love the Internet! Check out your scary closet bugs at What's That Bug?
