You know your really into inverts when...

[Nicholas Rothstein]

Huh? What do you mean?

I've tried almost everything; the glue stays behind even with soaking, and then it looks just as bad as with the sticker.

Thanks,

Arthroverts

To get rid of the stuff left behind I use rubbing alcohol, I rub it while applying force and it can take a while but it comes off. If it is a really pesky mark I soak it over night in water with some dish soap.

...and they assume your talking about computers."

(this one needs a little more work. I'm saving it here till I can come up with something really clever to finish it off)

Thanks,

Hah. For me it'd be: something, whip collection/room, something with the person thinking I had a room filled with... entirely different kinds of interesting stuff..?

for anyone who might not get it- amblypygi fan here.

... when you won't let your SO throw away an old food container cuz it would be perfect for this new invert I'm planning to get!

My grandma saves panera salad containers just for me for that reason

When everyone in your town follows your Instagram and you're now known as the "Bug Kid".

@aphono, you speak from personal experience, don't you .



Ah yes, this is me (not the significant other part however). I can never get the stickers to peel off right though, so it looks all messy and awful by the time I'm finished. Ah, the life of an invert keeper...

Thanks,

Arthroverts

Coconut oil will melt the glue left behind, I smear it on and let it sit overnight. Then wash it well with dish soap and water.

 

[Synapze]

When you say things like "That's not one of my flies" or "Can I have that container when you're finished?"

Ah once I went exploring for new morphs. Found about 5 cool pedes and put them in clear jars in a clear bag. I got a few weird looks on the bus, even from the homeless.

...when you have a Seinfeld/Newman type of relationship with the office's Orkin guy.

...when you may or may not have left a note on said Orkin guy's windshield saying, "We're coming for you. Love, the Ants."

...when you realize that "Coleoptera" would be a lovely name for a daughter.

...when you actually try to convince your wife of that.

...when you talk of strange Tenebrionidae while half-asleep, and wake up wondering why the ones you caught have suddenly "vanished"

 

[Tolaas]

When you hear yourself regularly using phrases like:
"You guys just don't get it."
or "Well, we all went through a bug phase, right?"
or "We both knew it would get out eventually. Now grab the flashlight and help me."
