Look, this is something we all know, but try not to think about. Nobody wants a study that proves our homes are full of insects and "noninsect hexapods". *shudder*

In a study sure to make insectphobes tremble a team of scientists visited 50 houses in the Raleigh, N.C., area and documented nearly 600 species of bugs.

Because they did not check behind walls, in drawers or under heavy furniture--and also did not identify every bug to the species level, something that's exceptionally difficult to do with insects--the researchers believe their total of 579 species is likely a significant undercount.
