I like most bugs, except potato beetles which are immune to everything except brick A and brick B, at least here. And anything that bites, of which we have an over abundance. LOL

Fireants are in a category all of their own. Nasty things.

We get those huge grasshoppers here—the ones that are about three inches long. The grasshoppers even eat porch screens. Thanks to the environazis, we can only get plastic screen. June bugs are pretty cool.

Talk about understatement.........

I assure you I will never forget sitting on a pile of them -----while wearing hotpants. That evening gave a truly new meaning to that style of short shorts.
