thrips
is anyone else being plagued by these tiny wee beasties?

I am so sick of the fuckers. They keep on crawling over my screen, and looking like typos. And creeping over my arms and face, and down my top. I just fished several corpses out of my cleavage, as the stupid little bastards seem to really like it in there, not realising they will be crushed to death.

Anyone else wondering how long it will be before insects just take over the world?

Edit: Oh, yeah. That was the title of your post. Damn. Are you wearing yellow? Or eating custard?

They will take us and they'll make us
HUMAN SLAVES in an INSECT NATION.
aAAAaahhhh!

They're a pain in the arse - the way to get rid of them is to wear dark colours since they mistake you for flowers. I'm not going out since I'm wearing a bright orange and pink checked dress...

They love yellow.
I went out in a yellow teeshirt in summer when I was a kid, got covered in bloody thousands of the damned things.
