Don't badmouth palmetto bugs. They make great paving stones for your
sidewalks. They aren't durable enough for the driveway, though. ;-)

When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale we used to catch them in the bottom of
garbage cans, stuff them into a sliding matchbox, and take them to school to
race them on the playground. We used a dot or two of nail polish on their
backs to identify them.

"Palmetto bug" is a term brought to us by Florida real estate agents. d8-)


Along with 'Lakefront property' for mosquito infested ponds. If we
didn't have so many Dragonflies, Florida would be unlivable.
