    I haven’t noticed too many of them running rampant this year. Though I certainly did have one jump on me yesterday.

      Never saw any before this year. I don’t get how they survive because they are the slowest, dumbest bugs I’ve ever seen. They just loudly splat onto the ground out of nowhere and flail about while I stomp them into a pulp.

    I fucking hate these things. They are going to wipe out our crops. All thanks to China exploiting our lazy import inspections. You can’t tell me this shit isn’t on purpose. Especially with all the deadly spiders and wasp nests and scorpions that come in Temu orders and shit.

      It’s just difficult to carefully follow biosecurity protocols while importing millions of tons of shit all the time. Especially while racing to the bottom in terms of time and money spent on that process.

      No way to avoid it other than stricter controls on imports and a more local economy. Expect it to continue, barring major reforms.

      Is this actually a thing? or hyperbole?

        Someone did find a scorpion yes there were articles about it. Weather that scorpion is from overseas, I am unsure
