OMG, I remember when I had lived in Miami (Coral Gables) and just got home from the flea market .. also known as a "Farmers Market". I bought a huge plant and hung it temporarily on the bathroom. I went in to take a shower .. moved the plant and got in the shower. AGHHHHHH!!! A HUGE .. HUGE banana spider was inside the shower with me on the wall. It was the biggest, furriest thing I had ever seen! It obviously was inside the plant and crawled out. I jumped out of the shower to get a shoe to kill it .. and the thing jumped off the shower wall!!! I finally got it, but not without difficulty. And, another thing ... the palmetto bugs (aka cockroaches) ... they fly. They are a given in Florida ... they live in the palm trees and always get into the homes. In NY, it has to do with dirty places. In FL, Palmetto bugs (roaches) are part of the locale/climate .. and they do come into your homes .. and fly at night. I left S. FL because I hate humidity (never a break .. it's year round no matter what RYD tells you), the bugs ... and I don't speak Spanish.
