trivia: the cottonmouth is so-called because of the startlingly white interior of its mouth, which it opens wide as a warning to leave it alone.

Definitely not because its bite is plush and soft, like a mouth full of cotton. That'd be a dangerous assumption one could make. π¬
Don't forget mosquitoes!
Come up north, we don't have any cottonmouths! Seriously the weather kind of sucks though. It's been like 60 degree high for a week and no end in sight. Fucking canada.
Ya but y'all got some scary spiders.
Doesnβt tick and moccasin country also usually feature black widows and brown recluses? The only deadly spiders in the US?
I said scary not fuck you up.
The biggest spiders I've seen in Minnesota are the harmless orbweavers, garden spiders, and barn spiders. The most dangerous are the Brown Recluse and Northern Black Widow, which are both extremely rare due to being at the edge of their range
No poisonous spiders. None that can kill you.
Spiders are our friends besides. They kill parasites. We are in alliance with spiders, long may they live.
