Insects and Spiders   new!

Insects are not difficult to see in Florida – they usually find you, but once you get past the unwanted mosquitoes and deer flies there is a dazzling abundance of insect life in this tropical state. Gloriously colored butterflies and huge tropical moths can be seen almost year around, and exotic-looking walking sticks and giant orange grasshoppers are easy to find. There are a few insects to be careful of but they are easy to avoid.
