I think the adjustment from urban to rural was much bigger (greater quantity of insects but most of which I was already familiar) )than the one from central to east: It's all north of the 49th parallel!Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496523914659613899.post-51148641103387602652011-10-21T10:44:39.912-04:002011-10-21T10:44:39.912-04:00Poor Allison, ask your mom about the spider photo ...Poor Allison, ask your mom about the spider photo I showed her :) The South does have a variety of living things we don't have in WI, but there are perks as well.

I have to say, that's about the only good thing about the cold - it kills the bugs before they reach mutant size or form enormous colonies.Meghan Lee Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000547622153803164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496523914659613899.post-89217158253887354372011-10-20T12:12:44.915-04:002011-10-20T12:12:44.915-04:00OH MY I AM SO GROSSED OUT!!!
