When the  Smithsonian first opened the Insect Zoo in the Museum of Natural 
History, the  Hissing Cockroaches were a big draw. My then-7-year-old 
daughter was quite  enamored of them and held one for awhile...ugh! The only 
trouble was, they  were getting handled so much that they weren't hissing 
anymore--no need to  scare off  predators!>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Over summer, bugs swarm to Florida.  These are by and large  absent
during the tourist season in the winter.  The most obnoxious of the  summer
bugs in Florida to me are those palmetto bugs which are really a  roach,
and can be the size of a dinner plate.
