The scariest pest

When we were still in Calgary planning this trip I wondered if we
would come across any critters or insects during our travels that
would really freak me out. Well, we have seen many things. We have
seen rats. A highlight were two giant fat rats frolicking in the lobby
of our hotel right by the restaurant. We have seen lizards, but we
think they are cute. We have seen giant spiders, cockroaches, brightly
coloured caterpillars, clouds of tiny moths that all seem to want to
go up my nose, and many mosquitoes. We have seen bugs that we could not
identify. We have seen snakes - the cobra was pretty scary. After
reading this list, you might be surprised to know that the scariest
pest of all is ants. Ants are small. I often don't even see them
before I find that there are approximately forty-five ants up the legs
of my pants biting me everywhere. One of the major problems with finding
that ants are the scariest pest I have encountered is that I know I will still
find them sneaking around trying to get a bite of me when I return to Calgary.
Yipes!
