Creepy Crawlies
I am taking my first trip to central Texas this August and I'm wondering what type of insects, bugs, and general creepy crawlies I can expect. Living in Western Washington we don't have many big bugs or spiders. I'm not afraid of bugs, I just don't like them.

When I lived there, fire ants were the bane of my existence--if you see ants, do not assume they're harmless, as fire ant bites sting like the dickens. I also recall a tiny scorpion or two, but these were no big deal, easy to spot and avoid; ditto the one black widow spider I saw. If you're near a lake, there may be some mosquito action. Do you expect to be out in the weeds, as it were?

I'm visiting a friend from High School and my husband won't be coming with me. My friend wants to take me fishing (which I love), and out to his parents ranch.
Can I expect to see an armidillo? I've never seen a live one.
I have never seen a roach, other than the ones they have at the zoo (same goes for scorpions). We don't have them in Washington unless you live in very dirty, filthy conditions.
I've only seen a black widow at the grocery store. It came in with some produce and they had it in a plastic container. The produce guy showed it to me and my mom.
