RE: Ants, Beetles, and Flies - Oh My!!
Three years in, and I still regularly see insects I've never seen before. Some are so freaky looking. We have endless different ants - the tiny sugar ones, fire ants, army ants, leaf cutters. Then the dive bombing beetles, sand flies, mosquitos, dr flies are the worst! Then there's the bot fly larvae. I'll let you decide if you want to look it up. I've had two, and they burrow under your skin.
Still love, love this country. Wouldn't leave it for the world. The army ants will have to carry me out!
Lol - the army ants will have to carry you out. Yikes. I've seen those fly larvae before on a video and that's not something I'd want to experience. I hear that we have them here and in Costa Rica as well, but we haven't gotten them. Maybe in more tropical areas...and we are in the mountains. Endless bugs...such fun. ;)
The only time I ever got them was when I was deep in the bush for several days. It was really wild, but sort of fascinating at the same time. I was only 22 when I had them, so I was maybe more open to such things.
Oh man! So creepy!!! Yeah maybe if you were 22, you thought it was kind of cool. ;)
