Here in Costa Rica, these nasty little over-inflated grasshoppers are everywhere. And when they fly (YES, THEY FLY), their flight pattern is pretty psychotic, so you have to kind of hold your breath and/or scream and hope for the best. Notice the little barb on the end of each of its disgusting legs. Those barbs stick onto your clothing, so you better hope one never lands on you, because if it does, you can't just bat it away. You have to grab it like in the above photo and pull it off of your clothes, and it does not want to let go.
I have heard nightmares of langostas careening into ceiling fans and the head flying one direction and the body the other. I hope I never have to see that, cuz, well, you're going to have to call 911.
