Here's a heads up: there are critters in the mid-west. Of course, we knew this before we moved here. But being here and seeing them is quite another thing.
In addition to spiders (and while they are big and wicked looking, we get some pretty creepy spiders in Washington, too), we've seen june bugs the size of a half-dollar, armadillos (all dead - may they rest in peace), crickets, grasshoppers, beetles, and two of these gems:
That's right: baby scorpions. In our "humble" little apartment. Two. Did I mention that there were multiple ones? Also, did you know, the smaller the critter, generally the more harmful they are to you? Greg went on a crazy bug hunt after the scorpion sighting, and resolved to make sure we had the thickest, strongest, most weather resistant weather stripping in our house.
Not that it won't keep out persistent little critters.
