Overall, thanks to two cats in the house, I don't notice the bugs too much. The bugs mostly stay outside except for the occasional ant or little cockroach or this bug in the picture that keeps trying to get in the house. I've thrown him out twice so far. It's at night that you realize how much the cats help--the rain forest all around comes alive with sounds--chirps and whistles and buzzes and rustles. Or after a rain when you can watch the bugs pour out of the ground almost like turning on a spigot.
Then there are the bugs you don't ever see--the "No-See-Ums". The ones that leave a million bites on your arms without you ever knowing they'd been there. I've actually made it a month without any bites so I didn't really believe in the stories about the "No-See-Ums". Then I spent an hour at a church in a small village. At the end of the service, I looked down at my arms and it looked like I'd developed leprosy or a bad case of the measles. I never saw a single bug or felt a single bite.
