There is a bug in my office. Not the spying kind. Nobody’s listening to me (that I know of) and damned if they wouldn’t be bored if they were.
No, I literally mean the insectoid kind. It buzzes around every once in a while. I’ve been aware of it for days. Even so, it scared the bejesus out of me yesterday, sitting on a stack of papers, being all buggy in an unexpected place. I went “Eek!” and then made it scoot.
What kind of bug is it? It’s a shield bug, or assassin bug, or stink bug, or western conifer seedbug–one of those sorts of things. It’s totally harmless, just attempting to overwinter in my home, for which I don’t blame it.
What should I do about it? If I kill it, it’ll die. If I put it outside, it’ll probably die. If I leave it alone, it’ll still probably die (from lack of water), but at least then it wouldn’t be my fault. So I’m inclined to leave it alone.
Tonight it is particularly active, flying all over the place, and I’m kind of enjoying the buzziness. But if lands in my beverage, it’s done. I have limits, yo. Otherwise, I’ll let it continue “bugging” my office until it disappears, one way or the other.
