Not coincidentally, this increase in bug activity follows the first real rain we've received since October. I'm happy about the rain. It makes things grow. Flowers bloom, colors are brighter, everything is greener.
Other creatures are making an appearance now too -- frogs and gekkos and lizards. I like them. (They eat insects.) Reptiles have never bugged (!) me like insects do. I'd much rather see a snake on the front steps (and I have) than a large bug.
So basically I'm happy to see the rain. Bring on the greenery and the flowers and the sweet smelling air. Bring on the lizards and gekkos and frogs. Just keep the bugs to a minimum, please, and let the few that do show up be on their backs, waving their scary antennas in the air, taking their last breath...

I think that crabs look like bugs because they are bugs, just that they have the skelaton on the outside. I have heard it said that lobsters and cockroaches are closing related. I dount the roaches tastes nearly as good in butter as the lobster.
Too bad the bugs come with the flowers and the rain. Just keep a heavy shoe on hand and whack 'em good, that's what I do.
