Bug Update
so the thing crawling around my apartment is actually a palmetto bug, which is basically a really big cockroach with wings.
someone on the internet has written a little rhyme for them.
internet guy, you rock!

Palmetto bugs, palmetto bugs
Skulkin' 'round like tiny thugs
Got some the size of area rugs
I'm talkin' 'bout palmetto bugs.

On spiky legs they climb my walls
Listening out for my footfalls
Antennas wave long-distance calls
To kinfolk rustling down the hall.

Palmetto bugs, palmetto bugs
Cleaning wings and looking smug
Makin' love in coffee mugs
I'm livin' with palmetto bugs

Brown eggs and turds in every drawer
I don't think I can take no more
They laugh and scuttle 'cross my floor
I'm buying Raid, declarin' war.

Palmetto bugs, palmetto bugs
Crawl up my neck and give me hugs
My neighbors say I'm doing drugs
But it's just them palmetto bugs.
