oh and the GIANT locust/grasshoppers they have in Oklahoma when I visited. Those things looked like they were a foot long but it was prob more like 6-8" I'm not sure but they were HUGE! :P
A silverfish; for some reason they keep breeding in my basement, they really give me the heeby-jeebies. Luckily i'm not as afraid of spiders or crickets as i used to be, so that helps when i'm going to the sink to brush my teeth!
Palmetto bugs - the are giant outdoor cockroaches that sometimes come inside and they can fly!
"The adult American cockroach is reddish-brown. It has a pale yellow border around the shield that covers the insect's head. The yellow border is easy to see, even at a distance. It makes the American cockroach easy to identify. This cockroach is a fairly good flier and a very fast runner.
In the southern United States, American cockroaches live outdoors. They are common in alleys and yards. They are also found on city sidewalks and along roadways. It is common to see American cockroaches on trees and in ground cover like ivy."
I was going to post a picture, but I got too creeped out. Google them yourself!

They are scary, and dangerous.
