Most Central Floridians don’t mind the cool off that comes with December and January. It gets just cool enough where we welcome the return to the 70 and 80 degrees in March and April. At night it can get down close to freezing for a week or two on end. This causes all animals to […]
In Central Florida, we are very familiar with reptiles and amphibians. You don’t have to travel far from your front door to find them before you will run into one or the other. In fact, many people don’t have to leave their house at all. Frogs and especially lizards have a tendency to find their […]
Last month we wrote two articles about snakes in Florida. Both articles were about non-venomous snakes you could find within the state. So, it is only fitting that for our third part of the snakes in Florida series, we write about the some venomous snakes. In this article we will go over both types of […]

The other day I went for a nature hike through some wooded trails. I encountered no less than three snakes in this 60-minute trek. Each one of them scattered when they realized I was walking down the path. People tend to think of snakes as an aggressive creature that is dangerous, and in some cases […]
This is the third and final installment in our three part series titled “Most Common Bugs in Florida”. This series features the most common bugs in our state. These are bugs you have seen your entire life and perhaps you didn’t know what they were called. Our first bug is no stranger to any of us: […]

But anyone in the agriculture business will tell you there are hundreds of pests that attack food sources that you probably have never heard of.
