I don't know?Alaric_Prympax said:Hey, don't you Californians say that: CA's the place you ought to be!
Or was that a TV show?
Are the fire ants in LA the native or non-native?Alaric_Prympax said:Sorry, but here in LA we've been fighting Fire Ants since, since,... well before I was born.
I have yet to have seen any of those in the wild in CA, the bees worry me more, and their coming your way, seeing as they will be any place normal honey bees are.Trevalon Moonleirion said:I have fully decided that I will NEVER move south after being reminded of how much I hate bugs.

We do have the black widows here, those suckers are big, and you do see them all the time.kenjib said:Up here in the Pacific Northwest we have imported Hobo Spiders and Giant House Spiders from Europe. They are all over the place. They crawl in my bathtub. They crawl across my floor. They crawl through my bedroom. They get as big as a silver dollar.
Both species look pretty much identical. You have to be trained to tell the difference. The problem is that the Giant House Spider is not a problem but the Hobo Spider is potentially deadly. I don't know what the ones crawling around in my house are.

Also being from the north and moving to the south for a short time is an adventure. I had a scorpian in my apartment and a rattlesnake in the car. - No thank you TX. I will stay in Illinois.
