As I stared into her kitchen from my computer screen, she ran around her apartment making all sorts of noise. Sharkdawg was following her, of course, he's her guard dog. Which led her to yell "WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?!"
She didn't know what kind of bug it was. So she started yelling, "It has wings. It's flying. It's a spider! It's a flying spider!".
Now if that doesn't scare the pants right off of you, I don't know what will.
But then she says, "It's like it's butt is separated from it's body. It has a separate butt." That doesn't sound like any spider I've ever seen. She managed to successfully trap it behind the blinds and then let it outside.
And then she drew me this picture.
See? It's butt is detached. And from that lovely drawing, I managed to find this:
Ew, right? But guess what? That's exactly what is was. A mud dauber. Apparently it's a kind of wasp. And it feeds on baby black and brown widow spiders. That ups the scary factor quite a bit, does it not? But now it's safely living it's life outside my bunhead's apartment.
And maybe I have a new career in entomology, aka. the study of insects.
Also, I want you to know that Jestina and I were simultaneously writing posts about the same exact thing at the same exact time. Because that's how LT we are.

Oh entomology, I'm pretty sure it's the worst of the -ologies.
Disgusting. that thing is just gross.
I love that you both blogged about it though.
And skyping with your best friend? I always have the best time.
Skyping with my best friend in general, oh how it's my favorite part of the day.
HA HA! A flying spider? Love it! But that wasp thing... EW that is horrible! I would probably start crying if that flew after me. (I'm serious, bees and wasps really stress me out. And I'm a baby.)
what is "LT"? lunatic telepathy?
you 2. i just read wu's post, and now i get the short and sweet version from you. i'll tell you what i told her. i'd love to have an expendable butt. it'd be the bee's knees (pun intended). she did not get the pun, that was just for you.
ew ew ew ew
I'm going to have nightmares about that thing.
I would totally have to move if that was in my house. eek!
Girl. You're an insect detective! ;) Nice work.
These things were all over Missouri. I do not miss them here. No, I definitely do not miss them!
um I've been seeing these all over my house lately!!!
Ewww! That is so gross! What a scary-lookin' thing!
EWWWW!!!! I would have freaked the heck out, probably worse than Jes, if that as in my house! YUCK!
P.S. I once took an entomology class in college. Part of the class was keeping a pet Madagascar Hissing Cockroach for the semester. I named her Harriet and she had 18 babies on my birthday. So.Very.Disgusting. BUT, she hated my roommate and would hiss at her all of the time. That was kind of funny.
Lunatic telepathy? YEZ. I die of the YEZ. Someone get Kiki a mud dauber butt pill!
oh my goodness, that's one SCARY looking wasp! ah! Is that for real? ek! I hate bugs, and I hate when they chase you!
If you think about it, it might be a good thing to have outside her apartment. It's taking care of all the black widows.
I EFFING HATE SPIDERS!
Holy shit I would shit my pants. Like double. Then call for help, ie Matt at work and demand that he come home STAT.
I screamed when there was a fly swimming in my sink the other night. Andy asked if the scream was necessary. I said yes.
The Orkin dude at work said he found an apartment with 8 brown recluse in it a few weeks ago. I nearly expired on the spot.
Wikipedia (which knows all) said they rarely attack humans, so that's good I guess?
I showed the Boz the Yez last night. He loved.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit thinking about that. How horrifying.
I'm glad it wasn't in MY house.
LT = life twin.
We accidentally Skyped for a few hours. Once we accidentally Skyped for 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Ok so it totally figures that I would read this post at work yesterday and when I get home last night one of the damn things or one of its relatives is flying around my bedroom. Then it flew out of the bedroom and I lost it in the house. The husband found it on the kitchen window this morning and we got him killed.
Oh my gosh... I hate wasps so much. The day before our engagement party Jesse accidentally ran over a wasp nest with the lawn mower. Not only did he get the shit stung out of him, but then he had to try to destroy the nest before the party. We found this awesome tidbit online to bring some humor, and truth, to the situation. *Hope the F word doesn't offend you* ;) http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/409527/Wasps/
