They can create enough mayhem just being able to jump 5x their body length. I shudder to think what chaos they'd stir up if they could fly.

I'd never seen one outside a zoo until I moved to New Mexico to live with my son.

(Some BS about me being too old to be by myself - bah.)

Stepped on one in the shower.

For several days afterwards, I could have been easily persuaded to bring back DDT.

F-them. Nuke them from orbit, to quote my grandson.

Nah, just kidding. My attitude towards them has mellowed considerably over the years.

I was up in Maine last weekend and have tons of mosquito bites. I have been itching all week. You must get the black flies in upstate NY. I remember them well, they were a nightmare!

(Except Sting).

Got stung by a wasp a few days ago. Not as allergic as I used to be when I was younger, but still swells up and hurts.
