Bug zappers

[Leptraps at aol.com]

We all know that you need a permit to collect insects, or any wildlife, in a 
National Park. The same is true for the State Parks in Florida. Much has been 
said about the anti-collecting rhetoric from the park personnel in the 
Florida Keys. I have been told that the indiscriminate killing of insects by 
my light traps is not wanted. However, every park has bug zappers around the 
bathrooms. You can stand next to a bug zapper while being consumed by 
mosquitos as a Mosquito Control Air Planes flies overhead spraying 
insecticides. (The last time I was in the Keys, I was having lunch at a my 
favorite Bar & Grill. If you have their chili bean taco's, you ride home with 
the windows down. I over heard a couple of local, soon to be drunk drunks, 
claiming that the mosquitos in the Keys had developed a vaccine against 
insecticides. They also claimed that the mosquitos were rafting over from 
Cuba. Evidently, even the bugs don't like Fidel!)

Don't you just love it!
