And bugs! Big, bad, awful to look at bugs!

Red-dawg, you forgot to also mention the vicious cacti and man-sized weeds that exist in Texas!

Did I miss anything?

Flies! Terrible, deadly flies!

[red-dawg]

Fire ants that will eat your dog.
They just wait for it to take a nap on the back porch and the next thing you know,
nothing but a pile of bones left.

I'm not saying the mosquitoes are big, but some of them have landing lights.

Sometimes it doesn't rain for a while.
Droughts so bad even the catfish have ticks.

“Flies! Terrible, deadly flies!”

You forgot the man eating feral hogs, the scorpions big as dinner plates, snakes LOOKING to bite someone and the lung sucking humidity along the gulf coast.
Who, other than a native, could live with that I ask?
