"Yep, that's the one. Creepy stuff, and I say that as somebody who likes bugs. They don't really do much of anything but drift around... and people say that if you stare into the hole on its back, it'll suck out your soul."

She shifts in place a little, wondering if you can get sunburns in dreams. Because man, she sure doesn't have any lotion on her.

"Anyway, obviously that's mostly bullshit, since there's plenty of weirdos out there who own them for... whatever reason. But then in the middle of the summer a few years back, a shitton of 'em drifted into the region. I don't really remember WHAT was up with them exactly-- I think they came from a lab? Anyway... anyone who looked at that goddamn creepy hole went into a coma instantly. Wish I could say I wasn't one of 'em, but guess who was a moron and went off into the woods to try and knock out as many as possible?"

She jerks her thumb at herself.

"Yup. THIS KID."
