Only cockroaches and fleas in my basement.
Checkmate losers.
trivia: the cottonmouth is so-called because of the startlingly white interior of its mouth, which it opens wide as a warning to leave it alone.
Definitely not because its bite is plush and soft, like a mouth full of cotton. That’d be a dangerous assumption one could make. 😬
So do I. Thankfully, new Zealand doesn’t have any snakes or deadly spiders.
Don’t forget mosquitoes!
Nobody forgets mosquitoes
Come up north, we don’t have any cottonmouths! Seriously the weather kind of sucks though. It’s been like 60 degree high for a week and no end in sight. Fucking canada.
Ya but y’all got some scary spiders.
Doesn’t tick and moccasin country also usually feature black widows and brown recluses? The only deadly spiders in the US?
I said scary not fuck you up.
No poisonous spiders. None that can kill you.
Spiders are our friends besides. They kill parasites. We are in alliance with spiders, long may they live.
No poisonous spiders. None that can kill you.
Black widows and brown recluses, absolutely creep and crawl around the entire East Coast of North America. Even up north well into Canada.
In this day and age, you will most likely survive a bite from either one of them, but you might lose a leg or an arm or a major organ, depending on where they bite you. Especially if it’s a brown recluse.
If you want to vomit, do a Google search for “black widow scars“ or “brown recluse scars“
The biggest spiders I’ve seen in Minnesota are the harmless orbweavers, garden spiders, and barn spiders. The most dangerous are the Brown Recluse and Northern Black Widow, which are both extremely rare due to being at the edge of their range
