My date

(You know, it's quite funny because that's the second time in the year 2006 that I am in such a situation.)

Guess what? I have a date! Who's the lucky one?
Well, let me describe IT:
It's dark brown, about 5/8 inch long and has a flattened, oval shape, spiny legs, and long, filamentous antennae.

So, today I had to meet my date three times although I think one time would have been totally enough. And each time I tried to catch (kill) it I missed it. Although it was very heavy on my heart to say farewell in the end I was forced to take an insecticide and spray it all over the place.

What is the funeral like?
Well, it couldn't start as I didn't find the corpse yet...

(Let's hope it was NOT a female.. Wouldn't like to have its offsprings all around here. And by the way, that's the only creature which I consider as really disgusting. I even hate killing them but I decided to work on that. After all, I have to learn to deal with such situations without any help! Sorry for this weird post!)
