Aaaah...the downsides of living in a warm climate. Luckily, I don't have to worry about any such critters. Hell, we only have one poisonous (or dangerous) animal on this little island and even that cannot kill you !! LOL

I don't worry near as much about those crawly pests as I do the two legged kind!
Come on now Karla! Texas ain't all that bad!!! I bet there isn't a one of those little critters that are bigger than us! ~squish~
Good write friend! Lisa

I think Texas is a twin sister of Somalia in terms of insects. All those you mentioned in the poem are available here and, most strangely, they behave the same way. Excellent poem

I remember the fire ants in florida, why doesnt somebody tell us northern snow birds that they exist, before i stepped in their nest and came runnign back to the campground in a tissie (SP?). My neighbor took a hose to me, man I still got some scars on my leg from that. But thats it I do not move south, no big ass spiders, no killer bees, they have to die in the cold...oh and tell Kate if she itches, she probably needs to bathe every now and then, LOL! Fun write, scary write, I would not leave the house if i lived there...Peace thru No Critters, Ed & Rufuz

The first time I set foot in Texas, a number of years ago,
I was greeted on the motel doorstep by a Black Widow...boy!
That gave me a clue...and I love the way you 'extended' the
insect horrors of the big country.
