I just encountered my first big tarantula in the bathroom after living here for now 2,5 years. If I hear that some people who are living here for much longer never encountered one, I am hoping that this will be my first and last encounter. Do not really like them but we let it live and just followed its track through the house that evening to see it wonder off through a peep whole back to the outside. They are great insect killers so live and let live brrr :bunny:
When we first arrived in Jarabacoa we had a lot of trouble with the so called 'no seems', little flies who can bite and their bites itches enormously and lasts forever to heal. Everybody told us, its a one time experience, once you have been bitten enough, they will not bother you again and that is a fact. They do not bother us anymore now.
Here on the NC we have no trouble with mosquito's, very rarely there is one flying around. A lot of frogs though but they probably eat the mosquito's. And we have the tarantula wasp flying around but they are looking for the spider so they do not bother us.
