I don't have anything nice to say about this guy. I can't stand him. And if they should accidentally land on you, they hang on and ya can't get them off. Eeeewwwww. I get the heebeegeebees.

They sure do - & I can't think of anything good that they do in the world!!

These little varmints have voracious appetites.
