Niger was good to me- few bugs as it's too damn hot. I'm sure I'll due for an assignment to the most tropical buggy country ever.Bfileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657766918735380467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-91194309154243605782010-08-10T17:03:32.913+04:002010-08-10T17:03:32.913+04:00Liked the story!

David has been entertaining you guys lately. <br /><br />Not a fan of roaches but as someone who lived in FL, I hated palmetto bugs and fire ants with a passion. Palmetto bugs were usually outside but one would get in the house from time to time. Even our cats didn't want to deal with them and you had to be careful how you handle them because they tend to be "juicy" and can leave nasty stains. And fire ants are so vicious - they'd bite you and hold even if you went after them with water from a hose. Their bites hurt for months. Both are part of living in FL though, so sooner or later you encounter them. Definitely two things about FL I won't miss.Daniela Swiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375056786777183752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-26961439552626491062010-08-10T16:38:01.523+04:002010-08-10T16:38:01.523+04:00Jen - I pretty sure that after Gray petted one he ...Jen - I pretty sure that after Gray petted one he would want to take it home and keep it. He asked if we could have a hissing cockroach for a pet. Boys are so gross, what is with them?<br /><br />Connie - Did a quick check and water bugs are the same thing as palmetto bugs. YUCK! I have had the displeasure of the water bug strip a time or two, and ususally I was putting on boots so it took jsut that little bit longer to get everything off. Ugggh! I also have been know to strip in the middle of the yard and hose off due to the fire ant dance. Good thing we lived out in the country. I am hoping there is nothing in our yard in Malawi that would inspire such a dance.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-72195817225423600072010-08-10T12:28:00.440+04:002010-08-10T12:28:00.440+04:00So glad your kids had the chance to play with gian...So glad your kids had the chance to play with giant bugs ;) Glad I didn't have to! Growing up in Florida we had the gigantic flying palmetto bugs, which are about 1-2 inches of crunchy disgustingness. I've been told they are not true roaches, rather, some sort of beetle, but I am not convinced... if it scuttles, smells, acts, (etc.) like a roach, it's a roach in my book. Those damned things would get in your shoes at night, and of course, if you forgot to check and poked your foot in without looking, the evil bug would run up your leg into your pants. I am not kidding. The only thing more recognizable than the "palmetto bug in your pants scream and strip dance" is the "fire ant scream and strip" dance. In other words... David, I'm with you all the way! Roaches are gross!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8896182951003656236.post-14733303811596746422010-08-10T07:29:16.767+04:002010-08-10T07:29:16.767+04:00Okay, can totally visualize that scene...hilarious...Okay, can totally visualize that scene...hilarious! Somehow we missed the cockroaches on our visit last week...think that's okay, though, as Nicholas would probably want one for a pet....Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545024934754374573noreply@blogger.com
