It's not the heat. It's the humidity.
 
This was at 9:05am at work. Check out the humidity. You have to peel the family jewels off the inside thy before you take the first leak of the day. And degree deodorant? For get it.

Oh and everything grows bigger in Texas. Even weird bugs. I didn't want to put my hand too close. He's liable to light my azz up.

He probably thought I was trying to move in on his action. "Mines bigger".

Oh boy, brings back old memories from my Army days. Between the PI and Vietnam, they had bugs and stuff that made old B-Horror movies look like household pets! The first night I spent in Okinawa, a centipede about 8 inches long fell from the ceiling and landed on my back! I thought it was a fly and flicked it off. It landed on my pillow and scared the holy crap out of me!

I saw nothing anywhere on the Japan islands that even came close to those in India. The combination of monsoons and humidity grows monster bugs. The good news is that the monkeys like eating them :)

Okinawa was not tropical, but did have some interesting wildlife! It had a snake called the Habu, I believe that is the spelling, that was poisonous, and very nasty sealife also.

You are right about the tropics. Like I said, the PI and Vietnam had some nasty critters. We hit the trench line one night (rocket attack) and were greeted by some kind of python. I am not sure what specific species it was, but one of the guys killed it with his k-bar. Lot of weird bugs also.
