    Scorpions! Lived in AZ 22 years. 3 of the family members, including myself, have been stung by the little buggars and it is excruciatingly painful. 31 hours of constant agony and then like clockwork and in a blink of an eye the pain just disappears. Unless you develop possibly fatal signs of stress they won't give you anything for it. You just want to take an ax and cut off your limb to be rid of the pain.
    Other things may be annoying but I never want to see a scorpion again. Oh, can I add POISON IVY! Just have to get near it to break out. Will not go outside the fence on the back of the property for concern about it. It means a trip to the doctor for a shot when I come in contact with it. Ann in TN

    Yes, all of these and I'd have to add stink bugs. They creep me out.

    Wouldn't it be nice if one of the pair of mosquitoes had tried to sting Noah and he slapped it?

    You may crab about the snow, but most of the bugs you named wouldn't live near here because it is so freezing cold.
