 Palmetto bugs. Texans call them palmetto bugs. Sounds cuter.

Found out all about them, last visit.

 A friend of mine calls them Ronnies.

Doesn't matter the name, if I see them, they die.

Also, living in Texas, I've never heard them called palmetto bugs.

 I didn't, either. The landlord was trying to calm me down, on the phone. 😅
