The Mothman Prophecies

That is some impressive bio-nerdery. Have some cookies! 🍪🍪🍪

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?

Jax

@dustin I would rather have spiders fall on me than centipedes. They’re spiders are chill bros, centipedes less so.

Brian

as long as it wasn't a centipede.

Dan Curtis

Are you implying that Hanners is part-Evangelion?

She has PTMD: Post Traumatic Millipede Disorder.

Andrew Diseker

"Millipedes: nature's millipedes" had be dying. Go Hanners, face those fears!

Matt

A centipede once fell from the ceiling into a pan of food I was cooking. I fortunately was able to scoop it out and banish it (temporarily) outside before it cooked in. I don’t recall now if I was freaked out enough to dispose of the entire pan of food (bug cooties vs food waste vs “is this still vegetarian?”). I am now suddenly grateful it didn’t land on me!!!.

Simran Khalsa

don't go there!

jimbo

At least it only crawled up her leg. It would have been worse if the millipede... on her leg. I'll see myself out.

My subconscious keeps trying standard dreams to scare/panic me. Like Naked in School - I'm a nudist, I'm ugly, and was hated at school, literally give zero f^^ks. Body horror - anthropology student who used to squick nursing students by reading illustrated tropical diseases books over lunch. Supernatural horror, Witch, professional thing that goes bump in the night. Seriously it is absurd. (Apparently my subconscious was not trained to deal with someone who has seen the Fnords)

She managed with the spiders in th CoD basement when she working there before. Maybe it's a case of the spider you know.

Michael Boettger

Yeah, but nobody expects Faye to have good posture.

Ardent Slacker

Bezos blood feud and a very confusing restraining order.

Ardent Slacker

Well, on the bright side, they eat the spiders, so you didn't have any of THEM falling on you, which is nice.

Dustin

No

Julia Allen-Hesse

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

Magic Chopstick Games

On 4th panel Hanners is seen practicing her "Roy Batty monologue" face. Again.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Faye’s height vis a vis Bubbles changes randomly over a fairly wide range.

Matt Grayson

"Millipedes: nature's millipedes." If there was ever a phrase to which BFG Division intensified, this was it. (Jeph, I don't think I've ever heard your opinion on the Doom reboot franchise, have you played them?)

Wait. What pandemic? Is that why there's so much less traffic noise now?

Alex Borders

Maybe Hannelore is wearing heels... which we've never seen her do before...

Richard

It looks like either Hanners got taller, or Emily got smaller. Is it just me?

BobC

& I don't know why ... she swallowed a fly ... perhaps she'll die ...

Joe

"...almost the entire drive of human history has been an attempt to get as far away from Nature as possible..." - Good Omens

Hugh Eckert

The book is even creepier.

Hugh Eckert

Would the study of migratory nature documentary film crews come under Anthropology?

Andrew

Thanks, millipedes. Thllipedes

Ami

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.

"Yeah. That's what nature is. That's why we left. We built this nice city, and now I don't have to worry about a tiger eating me." -- CGP Grey https://youtu.be/tQ7_vbNEDEk?t=42

James Redekop

This is why I avoid going outside. Never needed a pandemic to keep me inside.

Thisguy

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.

....who ate the cat that killed the rat that lived in the house that Hannelore built.

Peter McDevitt

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.

Spoogle McGee

Hanner was tanner when she first got back.

OldGoat

“...and to cut a long story short, that’s why I can’t go back to the Amazon. Ever.”

Andrew

And the Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches came to eat the millipedes...

Walt Donovan

Hanner's stories give me sustinence.

Bailey Tighe

How is she still tan!? Hanners has been back home long enough for it to fade, hasn't she?

Grace Kieser

Ah, the migration patterns of the nature documentary film crew - truly, the beauty of nature knows no bounds.

John Fiala

I love that nature exists, but I don’t want to be IN it.

Katherine Prewitt

Hanner's travel stories,or; Night of Horror #537.

Michael Boettger

This is why I like to keep nature at a safe distance.
