I tell my husband that the bugs here are what sci-fi movies are made of. I'm a real sissy when it comes to creepy crawly creatures. My first purchase when I knew I was going to live here was long rubber boots. Luckily, I don't have the blood that mosquitos gravitate towards, but I have accidentally met many ugly insects here, including tarantulas, cockroaches, a wide variety of cruise ship sized beetles (maybe a little exaggeration), spiders galore (and their webs are so strong, you could hang wet beach towels on them)(okay, maybe a little more exaggeration) ...
I have met a new man that I love seeing every 30 days, rain or shine ... THE EXTERMINATOR!  And he gets to see the inside of our vehicle too.
