buggy?

[dreamgal042]

I've been seeing this kind of bug a lot around here (indoors more than out) and I'm not sure what it is. I finally was able to snap a picture of it.

I tried to pick him up to put him outside, and he raised his pincers (on the bottom) perpendicular to the rest of his body, probably for defense. I dunno if that kind of behavior helps identify him. This was at the house of someone i babysit for, but I've seen him at my house too. Anyone?

If you ever get perplexed again as to what kind of bug you have, check out this site http://www.whatsthatbug.com/index.html . Right now they are having tech difficulties but they have a extensive amount of pics to check out.

When there is alot of humidity and moisture in the air they come out more. Ugh I hate them and they hurt when they pinch ya.

Once my hubby had to use the bathroom at his job, sunoco gas station, the restroom was outside. When he was done getting ready to walk out the door, one of the fell in his shirt and pinched his belly. Boy did it swell up like a balloon
