    Maybe why God made some of these creatures?

    Maybe because mosquitoes are bird food
    Bats eat insects
    Rats are useful for lab experiments
    In-laws to talk about
    Some toxins are useful for treating some diseases

    Can't think of any use for cockroaches, though

    I have a list like yours that I keep adding to. Someday when I die and stand before the Lord, I'm going to pull out my list and say, "Lord, what were you thinking???". LOL :roll: :lol:

    I think Fl roaches are the worst!!!!!!!! Just returned from 5 months there, and all I do is constant look out for them. And so happy to pack up and head home, where I know I wont see another for 7 months. Yuck!!! I hate them and they can fly, like a bomber!!! Just try to step on one---they run like a gazelle!!!

    Scorpions
    Cicada Bugs (the huge ones)
    Palmetto bugs (FL.flying cockroaches)
    Black Widow Spiders

    Just my short list! I just don't like creepy bug things. It may be that they won't hurt me, but they make me hurt myself!!!

    I hear ya sista! I can handle anything but spiders. we have several snakes (non-poisenous) and since they eat live mice and rats I've developed a tolerance for them.

    quick funny about fire ants-took camper and 6 kids to FL years ago. 2 were teenage boys-bro and nephew. they were standing in the campground, eyeballing chicks, acting so cool when they started hopping and yelping;totally ruined the studly vibe they were trying to put out there. they were standing on a nest of fire ants. not REAL funny then, but funny now

    My choices - sugar ants, German cockroaches, and DEFINITELY the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana).

    I can't stand any waterbugs because they fly and, of course, it's always at me...

    PS - I forgot about fire ants. I take boiling water to their nests. Most of the time I manage not to yell "Death from above" while I pour the water out. :twisted:
