and, despite the scorpions and shit that you'll find in the southwest, I think the freakiest bugs are definitely on eh east coast. giant wolf spiders, stink bugs, massive caterpillar invasions, and, at our lake house on the NC/VA border many years ago, one summer--a complete, and total, invasion of these fuckers:

Damn. Thank god I live in such a cold and unlivable place (middle canada). All we have here are mosquitos and horseflies. No poisonous snakes, no poisonous spiders, no scorpions, no giant centipedes. I have found centipedes in the garden before but they're extremely small and not dangerous. I've seen millipedes too but they are even smaller and even more harmless than the tiny centipedes. We get moths, but not in large numbers. Small red ants bite, but they don't really hurt. Black ants don't seem to bite, and they're very small as well.
Seems like the nicest places are complete death traps when it comes to bugs and other dangerous critters. In northern USA or anywhere in Canada, you really only need to be afraid of maybe bears or something. In Africa or Australia, every damn thing kills you. The mosquitos have diseases, there are giant poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and weird parasites you don't want to know about.
