No, but yesterday I was getting attacked by biting flies. I was working on the side of the house by my garbage cans and haven't encountered them anywhere else. Size of a common house fly (not horse fly) yet they bite. Little bas$#!ds.
I thought I was the only one who noticed the ants. I sprayed around the door and the next morning there was a pile of them outside the door. I cleaned the pool and there they were floating on top, dead not sun bathing. Noticed the absence of mosquitos but no biting flies.
No flying ants here yet, or those dreaded black cicada-eating wasps. But something bigger was found by one of our cats the other night.
Lucanus elaphus, otherwise known as a Gigantic Stag Beetle. Must have been 3 inches long with mandibles 1 inch across. Cat was pawing at it on the inside of our screen. Had we not spotted this struggle so soon, the cat would have surely been grasped, punctured, then flipped across the room by the thing, or worse. I eventually transported it to one of our neighbor's yards, little did they know - Bwahahahahaha!
Never seen the like of those around here, but with global warming, we are the new south. No pictures of it, sorry. Speed was of the essence.
