Flies, fleas, mosquito's, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, ticks, etc etc etc ....
Where we lived when the kids were little had a little black bug that came out in May, during hot days. They were called *punkies*.
When it bit, it actually left a hole in your skin. The bites itched like crazy but if you put anything on it like Benadryl or hydrocortisone, the bites burned horribly. You had to wash it off immediately, so there was no treating them. You just lived with it.
So one day my 5 year old says, *I’m sure there’s going to be punkies in hell. It certainly would increase the eternal torment.*
Cockroaches and heaven are mutually exclusive, in my book.
Speaking of Moses; I sure wish he’d put up a staff with a MOSQUITO on it; as well as that serpent!
