Watch This Alien-Like Bug Crawl Across a Michigan Man’s Floor
There’s no doubt that Michigan is home to countless weird and creepy bugs. However, it seems rare to come across one that you’ve never encountered before in your life. Simon Rix of Shelby Township shared a video he took of a strange bug crawling across his floor the other day. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Honestly, it's like nothing I've ever seen either. It’s a white bug with what looks like four legs that move in a unique fashion.

Peace-loving folk singer quits race against Oakland Sheriff Bouchard but stays on ballot
Amrit Kohli of Ferndale in no way resembles a cop. Clad in sandals and a George Floyd “Say his name!” t-shirt, the Nigerian-born Kohli is a software contractor but says he much prefers living his dream: folk singer and peace activist.
