  They only get to about half an inch. And they’re sort of round, not as gross as a lot of other bugs. But yeah, they just slam themselves into doors and windows. It’s noisy and weird.

    And your face… they’re rather derpy and annoying. I swat 'em with my phone. My dog will eat them out of the air when able, and I’m ok with it

      Yeah, I’ve had them fly into my mouth too, most memorably in mid air after jumping off a diving board. So I had to endure the damn thing in my mouth, under water, until I could come up for air/spitting it out.

      Still way less annoying than horse and deer flies. Those fuckers really hurt.

  It’s more kinda pitiful. They’re just really bumbling and clumsy so you’ll occasionally just hear a little thunk against a window like a lightly thrown acorn or something hahaha.

    We have them here. I don’t mind them cause they just hang out in trees all day and don’t bother me.

      they’re more existential dread than actively scary i feel, eldrich creatures emerging from the soil on a weird super long schedule only to screech for like a week or whatever it is and then promptly all die off
