Than you are in for a rollercoaster of awesome. And who ever linked fuguri, I hate you. I forgot this page and now I will be distracted for ages. Coke tends to hit it up and some of the stuff he downloads makes me go o_O.
There are lots of flies, mosquitoes and spiders here. I have no idea what would give you an impression that there aren't. This isn't the tundra you know.
People in cold countries have no goddamn clue about flies, I tell you what.
I do have a clue about flies.
How many flies enter your mouth every second? If the answer is less than eight don't even bother talking to me.
I doubt you have that many flies entering your mouth every second.
You may have more flies than us but there are still a huge bunch of insects flying around here every summer, because it's a wet country and evil creatures seem to thrive because of it.
Actually I live in the UK now, so I'm in a pleasantly fly-free zone. And I've never even been to Sweden, you could have giant killer locusts for all I know.
Even Scotland, a place filled with glaciers and a terrible undead creature called the Haggis has terrible winged insect problems in the summer. I had always laughed off the tales of the Midge, until I went driving in the Highlands one summer. I stopped a pleasant looking river near Loch Lomond, opened the door and started walking towards the water. About 1 minute later I was back in the car, furiously slapping my arms trying to stop the biting. I have never experienced anything like that before or after

Only during three months of the year. Vampiric penguins, you know.
Praying mantis's are the badasses of the insect world. There was a series of pictures where one pretty much just stabs a hummingbird through the chest and then starts eating it.

Nobody ever takes the midges seriously until they have been exposed to them.
I dread to think how many of them I've eaten over the years riding bikes in the Trossachs.

Aside from those though, our wildlife is decidedly un-dangerous. But the mosquitoes can really ruin a lot of outdoor fun.
No poisonous things, but I'm still terrified of the spiders. I've even petted bird-spiders though, I seem to only have a problem with small ones and the larger ones that have freaky body types.

I think you are right on that first point - it just does sound unbelievable - I mean how bad can it be? Back in NZ we have loads of flies and other flying stuff, including horrible sandflies, but they don't quite measure up to the Midge

Sooner or later an Australian is going to post and we'll all just shut up about our "terrible" bugs and hang our heads in shame.

I think what always gets people is the fact that they naturally form big slow-moving clouds, are too small and numerous to swat, and that despite their size they can bite through clothing.
Apparently this thing roams Sweden, well, according to GIS

Gamestop was a success. A word of warning: I was paranoid about not getting into the beta after days of waiting so I got my receipt and entered the code right there in the store from my phone. It failed! Three times! I showed the cashier and he was mystified. The other employee there talked to the guy who checked me out, they cancelled by previous order, tried again entering the promotional offer code manually and a new code came out. I tried that on my phone and:

What the hell! That's one of the scariest things I've seen.
Everything in this post is correct.
Ooh Than - make sure you get the Arc Projector DLC. You get to use it right away, and it is the funnest heavy weapon in the game.

it's called the bird spider, i am pretty sure
can you guess why
they don't eat birds regularly, though, it's more of a rare and delicious treat
his kung fu is strong

Spider [Chat], Spider [Chat], does what ever a spider...can't.
Do not taunt mantis.
Basically, don't get all uptight about hoarding heavy weapon ammo. You will have so much fun with it (also there's actually a lot of HW ammo about).

Just this guy.
i love it
I want eyes like that
It gets even better when you realize that is Mr. T punching the shark.

True, true but you have to make him angry before he bites you. And I haven't heard of a fatality because of them for years.
remember how so many people freaked out
ridiculous
As opposed to all the snakes that never open their mouths.
