wow, that comes as a surprising shocker considering our state "bird" is the mosquito! LOL
If you've ever been to Florida in the swampy, humid hot summers you would know exactly what I mean. I can go outside right now while it is 30 degres outside and find a mosquito. :P

Years ago, I traveled by car to Florida with my two small daughters. As we proceeded farther south from New England, the insects got larger and larger. On an overnight stay somewhere in Georgia, I encountered first a moth that was the size of a sparrow, then later a 4-inch cockroach in the shower of the motel! Needless to say, I can imagine that mosquitoes absolutely love your humidity and warmth!

Glad you enjoyed the article... Toni
