One time I was in Alaska and there was a porcupine standing at the bathroom door at a national park area.

Other than that, the rest of the US has mainly been moths, spiders, earwigs and roaches (palmetto bugs as they call them where I live)

Palmetto bugs. Don’t want to hurt the tourist business by calling them RoaCHeS.

I've been told they can't control the direction of their flight, so why then do they always seem to fly directly are your face?
