The Usual Suspects: A Rogues' Gallery of San Antonio's Six-Legged (and Sometimes More) Residents
The Buzzy Bunch: Bees, wasps, and mosquitoes – the classic summertime serenade. Pro tip: swatting rarely works, so pack some repellent and avoid that sugary margarita on the patio at dusk.
The Creepy Crawlies: Spiders and centipedes – they may look like they belong in a horror movie, but most are more scared of you than you are of them (probably). Just don't corner them while you're reaching for your shoes in the morning.
The Stealthy Stalkers: Ants and roaches – the undisputed ninjas of the insect world. Fire ants will make a painful entrance known, while roaches prefer to haunt the shadows and send shivers down your spine with a surprise scurry.
Hold on a sec! Those are just the tip of the iceberg, or should we say, the mesquite bush? San Antonio has a rich and diverse buggy biodiversity, so you might also encounter:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.

- The Kissing Bug: Don't let the name fool you – this one sucks blood from your face while you sleep! Sounds like the plot of a bad telenovela, right?
