they are HUGE hairy monsters right now Marcus... they carry away small children to save them for the cooler months... no matter how much Raid you take with you, they keep coming.... and if you believe this... MAN do i have some prize ground to sell you along the way... :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :lol: 8)

you will be fine, their bugs are no different than our bugs... they run when you turn a light on, and that is about it... if you go on the canopy tours take some repellant along with you, and you will be fine....

have a great time... tell the wife not to worry ok.... if she really gets scared, send me a ticket and we will be down to protect her.... :wink: :cry: :lol: 8)

I will offer to put myself on the line and go in place of your wife! No bug shall go unsquashed! :lol: :lol: there you go Marcus, you have all kinds of volunteers to protect you from the dreaded bugs of Vallarta. It is almost as bad as the \"Revenge of the Killer Tomatos\" or \" The Killer Clowns from Mars\"... talk about a couple B, Super B movies....

Lets go kick some bugs butts mexibeach.... :roll: :lol: 8)
for being right at the jungle, pv is surprisingly light in the bug dept. i would worry more about the jellyfish in the ocean.....
Geckos rule!
Bugs
Sitting on the balcony at the Holiday Inn I was bit by a fireant (ouch) . The same night we saw a swarm of locusts fly over . On a earlier trip we saw a fist sized beetle drowning in the pool . We have seen roaches as big as 3 inches . The bugs are there - just your luck if you encounter them . :)
Yikes, I guess she should stay away from the H.I. :lol:

I use that Rosie. Why do you still bother me. :D :lol:
How about bugs in December? I am guessing not so bad due to cooler (a little), much dryer weather. Is my guess correct?

if you venture to yelapa for an overnight stay prepare to do battle with the mosquitos, they laugh at the netting covering the bed
Hey Lola!

:o Well I would post the pictures if i could! i dont have them on my computer! But when we get back from PV in acouple of weeks, if i have any bug pictures i will definitely post them! :D

everytime I go to PV i go hiking into the jungle with just my shorts a backpack digital camera and a machete I never get bitten (but sure get suntanned) I see lots of crazy critters tho. I leave in 4 days I will take lots of pics and upload em.
