There is NO reason for you to change or get rid of it. There is nothing wrong, or obscene about it. It is just so darn realistic, in it's movement. I think it is funny, that it (a simple avatar) has generated this thread. But, dam, the thing does actually look real, and moves like a bug.

glad to hear it,
my reaction to it the first time was exactly the same, almost swatted the screen before I noticed it was a graphic.

Keep it, I only made the comment because I thought it was brilliant. Best little trick I've seen in ages.

I think the only "better" bug avatar for this site, would be one or 2 of those drunkard gnats, lol. Those are mandatory around my fermenters, and would probably get swatted off my laptop.

I think those gnats must be some form of minor demons, which Beelzebub somehow casts down to earth to harass home brewers. The damn things seem to literally arise right from the fumes of hell, about 2 hours after firing up the fermenter.
