I was kind of debating with myself if I wanted to post this video since the dialog is kind of stupid, but it has good footage portraying the Giant Amazonian Centipede so whatever. Here's a good one showcasing her bat hunting skills. The black and white night vision is an added bonus.

Silly Rose, there aren't any bugs that played a significant role in mlp. The closest things we have are parrasprites, and though this may come off as a surprise to you, I'm bot as fond of them as you might think.

I don't know about any bug themed vilians, but they are definitly fierce mothers.

yeah, I could go for new banners every two weeks or so

We wen't from "pinkie pie jumping out of a barrel and scaring rainbow dash" to "spike and rarity wub wub wubs" in, what, two weeks?

OK, after enduring a traumatic amputation and and several (hopefully) false death threats, I present to you the Amazonian Giant Centipede. The Amazonian Giant Centipede will inhabit any number of tropical or sub tropical regions of South America. As the name suggests, they are big, reaching lengths of up to an entire foot and as such among the biggest examples centipedes have to offer. They are formidable predators, hunting a wide array of insects, spiders, amphibians and reptiles, and mammals. Crazy as it sounds, they are especially fond of eating bats. They will infiltrate bat filled caves and make a slow crawl to the ceiling of the underground structure. They will then hang from as few as four of their back most legs. It's not long until one of the many bats flying about in the cave come in contact with the centipede. Using all available legs, the Giant Centipede will latch onto the bat with more than enough strength to hold it in place to deliver it's venomous bite. For it's intended victims, the Amazonian Giant Centipede's poison is beyond deadly and in the case of the bat, may very well kill it in mere seconds. Even for humans, though scarcely lethal unless you are allergic to such bites, will cause severe pain, swelling and fever. The Amazonian Giant Centipede's behavior it's self is aggressive and twitchy, making it quick to run away or bite in defense if bothered. Even through it's brutal hunting, the Amazonian Giant Centipede is also a very caring mother when the time arises. After laying her eggs, she will clutch onto them until the hatch and regularly clean them to prevent any harmful fungus from growing, all the while ready to protect her children at any cost. Even after they hatch, she will keep the young close to her for a short while until they are old enough to set off on their own. The only thing more fierce than a Giant Amazonian Centipede on the hunt, is the mother's wrath of a Giant Amazonian Centipede who thinks her children are in danger. OK, there it is next up is the Earwig. You can be expecting that highlight, whenever I feel like it. What? Really? Do I have to? I already finished the- Alright alright, calm down. The Amazonian Giant Centipede also has very refined taste. She is very classy. There happy? Good, now when can I expect my arm to come in the mail?

Mutant Buggie? Your gonna have to be more specific than that bud.

EXCUSE ME, I HAVE A PAIR OF FANGS BEING HELD TO MY NECK BY A GIANT CENTIPEDE. DOESN'T ANYONE CARE FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE BUGMASTER?

Sorry, but earwigs will have to wait. The Amazonian Centipede's patience has already run beyond thin. If I don't do her highlight next, lord knows what she might do.

By the way, If you've been looking for the song in pyro's little magic land...

Awww, he thinks he's bringing everyone happiness with his magical little rainbow puker. Be a dear and don't spoil his fun okay guys?

Glad to see you enjoyed it.

Well, I called the Amazonian Giant Centipede and told her that her highlight was going to be after this one. Luckily for me, she was in a pretty good mood. She said that after her highlight, I can have my arm back. Until then, I'll be typeing all my posts with one arm. As wished by the lovely Chocoswirl, I give you the Emerald Cockroach Wasp. The Emerald Cockroach Wasp can be identified by its briliant green sheen. It's not big, with the females growing only 2 centimeters and the males being even smaller. They can be found in tropical areas of Africa, South Asia and the Pacific islands. They are solitary wasps, and spread their young in a very particular way. After copulateing with a male, the mother will target cockroaches. Now, it's not too unusual for an insect to kill something and lay it's eggs near, or on it to provide her young with immediate sustenience. However, the Emerald Wasp goes about this a tad differently. Rather than killing the roach outright, She will deliver a precise sting in the victims brain that houses the roach's escape reflex. Instead of trying to escape, the roach will will frantically groam itself. The wasp is too small to carry the roach, so instead, she will drag it by the antenae to her burrow. Here, she lays a single egg into the roach's abdomen and will then seal the entrance with dirt, pebbles, and whatever else is handy. By now the roach has become slugish albiet still completly unaware of the danger it is in. With her work done, the mother sets off to find her next victem to repeat the process all over again. One mating can provide dozens off eggs, so she has alot of work ahead of her. There you go Chocoswirl, hope you liked it!

Hey there bud, welcome to canterlot. The people around here like to call me the "bugmaster" because of my love of insects and spiders and the like. If you like to learn and find yourself bored, come on down to my bug thread. I'm always talking about all sorts of interesting arthropods.

Their definitely not insects, no. But they are arthropods, and any arthropod is a bug in my book. Pfft, try telling that to the the centipede. Cost me an arm and a leg that's what that did.

Oh hey, I remember you from the introductions page. Welcome to the bugmaster's lair. Glad to see your enjoying yourself here. We have not discussed any emerald cockroach wasps, but if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to do a highlight on them for you.

I was gonna do a highlight on the Amazonian Giant Centipede, but then I found this little cutie, so I told her that I decided to hold off on her highlight until next time. She was not happy about it. The Centipede recommended I start sleeping with a gun under my pillow, and I complied. I'll have to deal with that later though. Fillies and gentlecolts, put your hooves together for the Velvet worm! Lets see, where to start... The Velvet Worm is a minor ecdysozoan phylum, which includes centipedes and millipedes, although they seem to have much more common in appearance to caterpillars or slugs. Velvet Worms are commonly found in cool and humid areas such as in rotting logs or under rocks throughout South America, Africa, and Australia. Size can be anywhere from half a centimeter in length to a whooping eight inches. Their main method of navigation is their antennae, which they use to probe and feel about their surroundings to better understand it. They are nocturnal hunters, and eat anything that's smaller or as big as itself. Thanks to their soft bodies and fluid locomotion, they can move about in search of prey while remaining undetected. Since they find prey through means of touch, they have to act quickly before it is alerted to their presence. Here's the cool part. Once a suitable meal has been found, they shoot twin steams of sticky slime from special glands to immobilize it! To the victim, it's like having heavy adhesive chains thrown on them. While their prey is anchored to the ground and helpless, the velvet worm uses its fangs to inject saliva which soon kills it's victim. Velvet worms are also social to an extent. Velvet Worms living in the same log form a pack of sorts, usually with the biggest female as the leader. Since females are naturally aggressive to each other, Velvet Worm communities usually only consist of one. When food is available, they use a pecking order of sorts. The biggest female will eat first, followed by the males, and then the young. Here is a video showing their amazing hunting method.

Hey there bud, welcome to canterlot. The ponies around here like to call me the "bugmaster" because of my love of all things arthropod. If you like to learn and find yourself bored, come on down to my bug thread. I'm always talking about all sorts of interesting insects and spiders.

We ditched the daring do picture at the top of the forums and got pinkie pie surprising rainbow dash by jumping out of a barrel in its place. I am liking this, how about you guys?

Hey there bud, welcome to canterlot. The ponies around here like to call me the "bugmaster" because of my love of insects, spiders, and the like. If you like to learn and find yourself bored, come on down to my bug thread. I'm always doing little highlights on all sorts of interesting crawlies.

Oh man, I never would of thought sharing my afinity with bugs could influence someone else's life like that. I feel proud of you as well as myself.

I would think frequent food supply would promote a spiders lifespan if anything. I ment my highlight to be of a some what solem tone as to respect the spider who passed that it was writen for. I suppose that now it would be appropriate to say that the barn spider is the same kind of spider in Charlotte's web. You know, that one spider, oh, what was it's name again, ah yes, Freaking Charlotte herself! I'll admit, I'm not all that familiar with the story, but I am fond of how it was able to make something like a spider endearing to children. It's not often enough that things like spiders are made out to be the stuff of comfort. How's that for how barn spiders are awesome?

I only have so many bug cards! There's always ebay, but those things can be wicked expensive.

Hmm, It looks like the pending staff action list is getting pretty small. Ima take a guess and say that this might be a sign that the remaining apps are getting closer to being veiwed by an admin. Am I in the ball park?

This looks like a good way to pass time while I wait for my app to be approved.
