okay, how often do you'll actually see tarantulas? I see maybe 3 a year. Usually on the road. Occassionally at the house.

My neighbours can tell when we spot one, all the yelling and running around like fools is a dead giveaway. Of course we have to catch them and let them loose... yes on the road!

I haven't seen a scorpion in probably over a year.

If you want to live in a more natural area - less built up and more bushes and trees then you will experience more bugs. This is why I don't live on the mainland. I don't like buggies either.
