I thought that bugs became instantly mummified when exposed to the Vegas heat?
Myth. Lots of bugs here. Only "good" thing about bugs here is that the desert recluse spider, although still very bad news, is reputed to be way less grumpy than the common brown recluse. I've read reports of kids playing with them for hours without getting bit. Yea it was on the internets, but the stories are fairly consistent pointing to the desert recluse being more tolerant to accidental contact.
