And whike I know bugs won't go after healthy plants and while we exterminate regularly, I still kill a couple of flying or crawling creatures half the size of my fist a week.

Guess I'm not moving to the sunshine state any time soon.
I'd miss this time of the year. It makes up for all the cold and snow during the long winters here.
Giant crawly creatures...no thanks, though I did see a good tv show about them form some place in Africa on the Discovery channel. The guy said they tasted like shrimp. They were digging them out of dead trees. Looked like huge grubs.
I'll pass.
