    We have those here. They’re big ugly motherfuckers and it hurts like hell when they bite you. But they’re big and slow so you gotta really not be paying attention to get bit by one.

        Yeah there kind of rare where I live too. They used to come to the gas station I worked at as a kid at night. People would come in for gas and see them and freak out because they’d be like “I DIDNT KNOW WE HAD BUGS THAT BIG HERE”

    “These bugs are also known to bite unsuspecting humans between the toes, hence why they’re called “toe-biters,” though this bite is nontoxic and we’re far too big to be their prey.”

    That doesn’t mean they can’t try :-(
