    Box elder bugs. Fished these out of the sump. Warmer weather is bringing them out, and apparently into my tank. The stench was unreal. :confused:

    I found one of those lady bug/Japanese beetles in my main tank the other day.

    BTW, centipedes are a great treats for some FW predators.

    No, thankfully those guys are staying out of eyesight! At my old apartment, they were a regular feature in the utility closet. I would grab them with some forceps and plop them into a tank for some easy entertainment.

    Box elder and ladybugs however, the fish seem to really not like them at all (probably for the same reason birds leave them alone)
