>>>> Palmetto bugs (really big flying cockroaches) live in the trees and in nests in the ground -- I spent my high school years near Miami and saw lots and lots and of them. But they are all over the south -
Well, not ALL over the south. We don't have them in the inland mid-south. We probably have more bugs than some parts of the country - although Wanda's description of her mosquitoes yesterday sounded worse than what I've ever seen here. I'm sure we have a longer bug season than cooler parts of the USA. FWIW, there are several distinct climate zones within the South. http://tinyurl.com/22ns23 Anneliese is in the Upper South in KY. The mountains of NC are in the Middle south - probably considered Upper South in some areas, although at certain elevations, the climate is almost New England-ish. I'm on the border of the Middle and Lower South, while Janice is on the border of the Lower and Coastal South. Miami is tropical - a whole 'nuther ball of wax. Since I met Janice, I've watched her weather forecasts from time to time, and often, her weather is not dramatically different from ours, but her terrain and soil is quite different.
