The insects of hell

Ohey.

So today I decided to open my window. But - oh - what blocked my window's way? A A2 carton. A folded one. What did I obviously do? Get it out of the way and put it somewhere else.

What actually happened?

Insects came out of that carton. Two of them.
I didn't drop the carton (and wow, I didn't scream either) but I didn't put the carton where it was supposed to go. Seriously, that was so EWWW. How did they even get there?

Before I tell you how the story goes on; one more info on the carton:
I bought some drawing goodies last week (LAST!!). I then proceeded to take out the loose and small drawing tools and let the A2 photocartons remain inside. I figured I'd need the shipping carton  - the one I got - to mail my art folder (for university applications) because it's big enough to fit in the A2 papers.
But since it takes so much space I just put it inside the narrow space beside my table and the wall (half blocking my window).

So, HOW the HECK were TWO insects born in the span of 7 days??? Can anyone answer me?
Also, my room's *coughs* getting *coughs* cleaned every week.

My brother was in the room when that event happened and he witnessed everything. I panicked and asked him what I should do - I actually considered trampling them to death but I didn't want dead insects to stick on my slippers so I trashed that idea. He told me I should just get the vacuum cleaner and vacuum them out of my room. They'd stay in the vacuum bag. I just hope so. They're in there right now. And the cleaning lady is coming in in 3 days anyway so the bag will be disposed of soon. Hopefully.

I trashed the carton btw.

Speaking of insects -
Last year my parents went on their honeymoon (their second after a year actually). So they were gone for 4 1/2 weeks while I was left to fend for myself. No worries, I made it through healthy and everything was fine. Except for two things. One of the things involves insects, so that's what I'm going to tell you now:

In the second week or so I encountered a bug. Dunno what kind of bug it was, but it was big, ugly and in my friggin' way. So I killed it.
Some days later I saw another one of those bugs. I didn't get to kill it though because it flew away to god knows where and I couldn't chase it with the eye anymore. My brother told me that he killed one an hour later.
Two days after (or so) I merrily went my way on to the toilet, sat and did my work. Yeah, I peed.
When I stood up to flush, what did I see? Yup, the insect, squished to death by my fat ass. WTH, HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT IT WAS UNDER ME AND I WAS CRUSHING IT.
Of course I screamed. Even though it was too late for anything anyway. The damage was done, I touched and squished it, it was dead and after a moment I was calm enough to shove it into the toilet bowl. BIG mistake. Do not ever attempt to flush an insect down your toilet. It always swims up. Yeah, I know it's dead but the water just takes it up cuz it - I think - has fat and you know how humans float up, too, because they have so much fat in their body?
Needless to say I didn't use that toilet for some days. Oh, and I cleaned it.

But ewww.
