Mitch and I live right next to Duke Forest, it is great for a view for our deck and makes a great trail for running whenever I feel the need. However.... it does make some big scary bugs get way too close to us! We have spotted two cockroaches since we have moved in. Granted that isn't a ton, but it is two more than I wanted to see ever! Next move of action is buying roach houses and getting sprayed. There are a few spiders and ants and what not, but I can handle the little guys okay. Things got out of hand last week though when I came across a massive spider on the way up to our apartment. Which i am thinking means there are more and possibly bigger IN the forest a hundred yards away! I guess bugs are to be expected with the beautiful trees and warm weather but I can only handle so much!! So... it is, the first spider sighting!

Maile,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure that's a spider? It only has 7 legs.
Hah. Jk.
But really that is the freakiest thing I've ever seen.
I have to agree that the bugs and spiders are bad here. Just when I thought we got rid of the ants coming in our front door they figured out there is a back door.
