          It'd be terrifying without the insects and spiders… Why?.. Two words...

            Doesn't sound much different than Arizona. Amirite @manufc10 ? You guys have Gila Monsters, scorpions, rattlesnakes, etc.

              For sure!  A few years ago a bobcat took residence in a tree outside my daughter's grade school.  Several times I've opened the garage in the mornings to leave for work and seen a coyote or three standing in my driveway to greet me…just chillin.  It's a regular occurrence to see coyotes just walking down the streets in my neighborhood.  Bats flying around the street lights at night...I've seen a huge owl just chillin in the middle of my street several times..has to be the same one....rabbits running around on the daily and I still to this day have not ran over one.  A video was shot recently and posted on Facebook of a bobcat hunting and killing a snake on the side of the road, middle of the day in heavy traffic...the list goes on.  Oh, and if you've never seen a Palo Verde beetle before it will make you reach for your gun the first time you do...especially if it's flying.

              The list goes on...granted I do live on the far northwestern outskirts of the Phx city limits so it's definitely more common in the burbs than inner city.

                Oh and the Quails….quails for days.  They are funny, they travel as a family and when they.look for food in my backyard one of the adults walks along the top of my fence as a lookout while what I assume is the mom stays on the ground with the baby's to stroll for food.

                  And the wolf spiders lol.  One got in my truck one day and I didn't know it till I was driving and saw him walking across my headliner.  Scared the ever living shit out of me lol.  I almost crashed cause it startled me.  A full grown wolf spider is damn near the size of a tarantula and pro tip..if you ever seen one NEVER step on it.  They carry their babies on their backs and when I say babies I'm talking like hundreds of them.  You will have them all scattering everywhere and possibly up your legs the second you step on the momma.

                    We don't have too many poisonous critters in MN. There's the Northern Black Widow and maybe the Fox snake? Other than that, I don't see much wildlife in the city other than the occasional white tailed deer (if you can believe that), wild turkeys or a random coyote. It's mostly raccoons.

                      We've got the brown recluse spider here too.  They don't look intimidating but their bite can eat your flesh if you have a reaction to it.  Google brown recluse bite images for some gross times.

                            This is why Flagstaff is exponentially better.  7,000' above sea level gets rid of most of the nightmare inducing creatures from down in the Valley.

                              Seriously^^^^

                              I have no idea why it was decided to move the state capitol from Flagstaff to Phoenix and why Phoenix became the biggest city in AZ.

                                Just handed in my two weeks at the brewery I work for to pursue a new opportunity that fell in my lap while I was visiting a friend in Kona, Hawaii.  Lot's of bittersweet feelings, but I couldn't be more excited for the new gig…

                                Gonna be helping a much smaller and newer place up their beer game in serious way...

                                Shit yes! Whom did you work for in MI if you do t mind disclosing? HI is friggin paradise, very envious of and happy for you.

                                Think it, be it.
