Ewww, not a bug fan here either!
Yesterday I was outside with the dogs and something flew on me. It was large and I am still not sure what it was. I starting hopping around and ran inside....

Don't ever move to Florida. The bugs here are incredible. The palmetto's fly -proving that god has a sense of humor and thinks it is incredibly funny to watch us scream and run from bugs.

LOL Richard. I love your stories.

Gonna show my country roots here and say insects don't really bother me. Skeeters are a bit annoying but usually I ignore the insects and they do the same for me. Occasionally a beetle will fly into my arm while I'm driving with the windows down or I'll have to carry a cricket out of the house. Guess I'm just lucky.

It just may be the end of friggin days and not a moment too soon!

I was back in my yard again and watering the plants this morning.

I was by the fig tree, spying the fruit and getting ready to make my approach... The tree sits a few feet from the wall that divides the properties.

The concrete block wall is the 'highway' for cats that use it to get back and forth! I have to runch down because I am a little taller than the wall and do not want to alert the neighbors that I am harvesting their tree.

The branches are on my side to technically, the fruit can be picked, but I don't want to tick them off and maybe have them trim the tree branches off the wall.

I approach the wall and see two scarab beetles buzzing around the area!

AHA!

THey won't sneak up on me now!

I slowly reach toward the closet branch and the effing thing almost EXPLODES in a flurry of activity, I take about three steps back and try to figure out what just happened.

It might have been a feral cat but all my pals are on the poch and this thing was JUMPING down along the top of the fenceline toward the street.

I took a step around the camper and realized it was a squirrel!!!!

I guess we both scared the crap out of each other - good thing I went to the BR before I went out there!!!

A few days bak I noticed a huge fig that had been halfway eaten and I thought my competition was a bird!!!!!

This is the end of days...........Not only are insects scaring the poop outta me, Now, I am competing for food with squirrels.
