   What do mean "when"? They've been here since the 60s at least. I gotta
say they sure named 'em right! Just step on a nest of them if you don't
know what I mean! We're just waiting for the killer bees now. We've had a
few colonies of them but so far they've managed to wipe them out as they
appeared. And don't forget the Mediterrranian Fruit Flies and all the
other "interesting" bugs that are appearing everyday.
