Just a lot of mosquitos. I just use "OFF" mosquito repellant and they leave me alone.

I would have mentioned them, but the question was about September.

Used to have a problem with tarantulas until I put up a good strong barbed wire fence. At least that kept out the large ones.

Are they any good for eating? How do you cook them, or do you eat them raw?

The one's Chris electocutes are cooked and edible as is. The rest are best fried in butter with garlic.

Yum!
