It is so icky!! A few months ago, a flying bug idiotically got itself killed by falling into my lamp (it’s a really nice lamp, looks a lot like an old fashioned street-light). Well, I thought nothing of it, though occasionally I could see its…corpse in there when the light was on.
But NOW? I look in, and I see a couple of other bugs there too! Including a yellow ladybug- the only kind of insect I can stomach (well, red ones are all right too, I suppose).
It’s just oddly unsettling. Like that elephant graveyard scene in The Lion King. Did I mention how much I hate insects? Ugh…

These things happen-- eight dollars.
