    Because bedbugs usually suck the remaining oil on your cock while you are hard sleeping so in dream you think your best friend is giving you bj but it’s the mighty cockroach

            Really? They don’t fly in the northern States or western States I’ve lived in in the US nor the European country I’m in or have visited. Also don’t like light and more active at night. They’re a problem where I am now and they are slow and dumb comparatively. They often off themselves by falling on their own backs. You’ll find them on the street dead trying to climb steps and stuff. They are not the flying monstrosities we had in Mexico by any measure. (Oh fudge. I just looked up and they are elsewhere in the country they just haven’t spread to our island but this seems like a recent development. I hope they don’t ever come here.)

            They only fly in Mexico (and southern Texas) though. Science literally doesn’t know why. Oh and for some reason it’s only the ones big enough to confuse for squirrels.

              And they taunt you! They’ll either crawl up or jump out at you to make you panic, but those fuckers quickly meet my chancla.

              We also have the tiny ones that I’ve began squishing with my bare hands. Fuck it, I don’t care anyone, there are so many of them despite having a clean house. I think I kill 3-4 per night.

              I mean, cockroaches are largely decomposers with photophobia. There isn’t much need to fly when you live in cramped, dark spaces. That doesn’t mean they don’t have the ability, which is what I’m contesting.

                Yeah. Most Mexican cockroaches don’t give a flying patootie about light. Some scramble but you’ll see them during day and they will fly straight at your face. They’re wicked fast and hard to kill too. And they make noise. They’re in a class of their own.

          Well they thought butterflies ate butter, so they called them “flies that eat butter”, hence butterfly. (that’s one of the theories at least)
