Here in Florida you see all kinds of critters. I was stupid and not thinking last night up in the morning and opened the front door and as soon as I did, the hairiest spider I've seen since being here, ran in. It's like they wait at my front door at night wanting in at the chance. And don't think about leaving somewhere during the day and forgetting to leave on any outside lights when coming home at night. I've had to immediately run inside and flip on the lights as soon as I turn the key. And quickly slam the door and pray no unwelcome visiters followed me in. If I'm careful at the door, nothing seems to get in otherwise and no other problems. But you do have yard snakes here, especially outside the city in more scrubbier/woodsy areas and I have seen a very tiny baby scorpion but the ones here aren't harmful unless you have allergic reactions to stings. I just stay clear of Florida critters if at all possible and a screened lanai is an outdoor must here.
