If they are in Tennesse, this is scary. They are awful. I lived in SC once. I gotten bitten by one of these and it looked like an infected spider bit. It itched worse than anything you can imagine. I am not happy to see this. They are so smart too.
I guess this is to do with global warming and would make me nervous too - they sound horrible.
