If Hannelore doesn’t like bugs landing on her, she should have been delighted to have bats showing up. A single bat eats more than half its body weight in insects each night; for a half-ounce big brown bat, that’s equivalent to 3,000 mosquitoes. Contrary to popular belief, bats that swoop at you at night aren’t interested in your hair or blood, but in the insects attracted to you. Bats are having an especially hard time right now, what with the media sensationalizing the theory that they’re the source of COVID-19. In fact, there’s no evidence that bats can spread the virus (which probably mutated after jumping to another mammal like a pangolin before it infected humans), so the bats being killed by fear-crazed people around the world are dying for nothing. Don’t fear bats. We need them. 🦇
where's an ectrichodine when you need one?
That is some impressive bio-nerdery. Have some cookies! 🍪🍪🍪
as long as it wasn't a centipede.
"Millipedes: nature's millipedes" had be dying. Go Hanners, face those fears!
At least it only crawled up her leg. It would have been worse if the millipede... on her leg. I'll see myself out.
don't go there!
Ciiiiiiiircle of Liiiiiiiiiiife
She managed with the spiders in th CoD basement when she working there before. Maybe it's a case of the spider you know.
No
Only twice in my life have I ever completely and utterly lost it: once, when a house centipede fell from the ceiling and started running across me, and again when another house centipede fell from another ceiling and started running across me
Well, on the bright side, they eat the spiders, so you didn't have any of THEM falling on you, which is nice.
On 4th panel Hanners is seen practicing her "Roy Batty monologue" face. Again.
It looks like either Hanners got taller, or Emily got smaller. Is it just me?
Maybe Hannelore is wearing heels... which we've never seen her do before...
& I don't know why ... she swallowed a fly ... perhaps she'll die ...
Thanks, millipedes. Thllipedes
I had a dream where I was covered in centipedes and dirt, and had to pull off one that was as big as my arm. Funny thing, it wasn't scary until I woke up.
I had a dream and then I woke up and there was a foot-long centipede in bed and it had bitten my wife in the back, and then it got away in the dark. I didn't find it until early morning, but it was very cathartic to beat it to death in a frenzy.
This is why I avoid going outside. Never needed a pandemic to keep me inside.
Wait. What pandemic? Is that why there's so much less traffic noise now?
Having a millipede crawl up your leg is known by the State of California to be hazardous to your chill. P.S. It is super easy to scoff at "The Mothman Prophecies" while you're watching it, but wait and see if it doesn't come back to haunt you for weeks and even months later. You have been warned.
The book is even creepier.
....who ate the cat that killed the rat that lived in the house that Hannelore built.
When you think about it, is (not actually) having millions of legs any weirder than having just two? Yes. Yes is the answer to that.
“...and to cut a long story short, that’s why I can’t go back to the Amazon. Ever.”
Bezos blood feud and a very confusing restraining order.
And the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches came to eat the millipedes...
Hanner's stories give me sustinence.
How is she still tan!? Hanners has been back home long enough for it to fade, hasn't she?
Hanner was tanner when she first got back.
Ah, the migration patterns of the nature documentary film crew - truly, the beauty of nature knows no bounds.
Would the study of migratory nature documentary film crews come under Anthropology?
I love that nature exists, but I don’t want to be IN it.

She has PTMD: Post Traumatic Millipede Disorder.
This is why I like to keep nature at a safe distance.
