Way OT - recent bug discussion
There was a thread recently that sort of degenerated into discussing
bugs (again!) and I'd mentioned that I'd lived in a place where there were big roaches that smelled just awful. Thinking about these weird and horrible little monsters made me finally get around to looking them up: they are Florida Woods Cockroach or Eurydotis floridana, a/k/a "the stinking cockroach". I encountered them in Georgia, and I am asking you Florida people to take them back, please. ;-) I found this information at http://www.acesag.auburn.edu/department/ipm/roaches.htm which is interesting in a creepy sort of way. ------ Krista Whose skin is crawling |

I live in Miami, FL, and roaches are pretty numerous here. The house I live in is pretty well sealed, so very few manage to get in, but the few that do are dispatched by Lynxie with extreme prejudice. } -Z LOL wrote: There was a thread recently that sort of degenerated into discussing bugs (again!) and I'd mentioned that I'd lived in a place where there were big roaches that smelled just awful.

Hey! "We Florida People" do freely admit we have more crawly critters - ok,
bugs - than any other state.....*but* I never saw no *stinkin'* roaches here! Flying, crawling, swimming, yes....(aerobic?) but no smelly ones. The only other state (never visited, but described to me as "Florida with mountains and volcanos") that has as many bugs, so I hear, is where you might have got this 411 on stinkin' roaches from......Hawaii. They sneakily blamed us as the Motherstate for this miserable-sounding species - my theory. "Zorin the Lynx" wrote in message ... : : I live in Miami, FL, and roaches are pretty numerous here.

It's just sneaky Alabama people propagating disinformation, no doubt. :-P ------ Krista PS: Swimming?! Ewwwww! |
