No worries my man. I take my fishing very seriously. That's why my name is... Well it's usually fishingmaniac. The sea kitten is related to a thread in the other tent as is only temporary.
tennessee is one of the most bio-diverse states in america, from muddy river to lush fields to rolling hills to rocky top. lots of things live somewhere in tennessee. almost nothing lives everywhere in tennessee.
You can count on mosquitos living just about everywhere and in Southern Tennessee they can grow pretty big.
I have been on the farm the last three Bonnaroo and have yet to see any mosquitos either.

I didn't see any last year. I'm used to living in a place where you'll literally see clouds of them coming at you, so if there's under like 5 billion of them on the farm, I probably won't notice

Maybe that is why I don't think I saw any - like you - I live where they are very very prevalent
Speaking on noodling...ever heard of a guy that noodles snapping turtles?
Woah! I've hooked afew snapping turtles. You don't even want to mess with the little ones. I'm not sure which is more trailer trash catching snapper turtles by hand, referring to the upper leg of the turtle as providing "beef" or getting his teeth knocked out with a CHAINSAW!(?!?!?)

I have never seen any kind of pest mentioned in the title of this thread at ROO! I was bitten by a copperhead at Sneads Ferry, NC a year ago and still have serious problems from the bite as a result. You do not have to worry about posinous snakes at Roo. There is too much noise for anything posinous to be around there.

Well mosquito's tend to only bite one or two kinds of animals, I just do not think the farm has a year round population that is prepared to feast on 80,000 people. Personally I may have seen one or two over the years but certainly not enough to be memorable. The strangest thing I ever saw at a fest was a armadillo out in Missouri, it scared the fuck out of me. Not to mention they are one of the few known reservoirs of leprosy, and TB in the animal kingdom.

Oh yeah, definitely. I had forgotten about the grasshoppers. '06 was awful. Not that I really mind them all that much but having 5-10 unexpected friends in your tent is a little intense. Not to mention them creepy crawling all over the place during mid-day catnaps.
Leprosy is actually genetic. It is recessive gene that makes one susceptible to it. Most people are immune.
This is true however it is actually transmitted via a bacteria, that >1% of the population has no immunity to. Like the other person said though I sure don't care to find out the hard way that I am in that 1%. Another weird Armadillo fact, the ones you see out here (nine banded) always give birth to Identical quadruplets. Here is a bit more from wikipedia, they are just strange critters, I have seen them jump it is pretty damn impressive.
This species is the only known animal that is able to inflate its own intestine in order to float across a river. It can also hold its breath for up to 6 minutes in order to walk across the bottom of narrow rivers. Additionally, the nine-banded armadillo always produces four identical offspring. The armadillo can jump three to four feet (90-120 cm) straight in the air if sufficiently frightened, making it a particular danger on roads.

^ahhh my brother had a hood and windshield ruined from blowing his horn at an armadillo, they do jump high. And are all over the place here in Alabama. I see them on the road just about every night.

Last year Rockinhood and I were camped right near the ferris wheel close to centeroo in a place whee they had not cut the grass. Grass was bout 2 feet high. We had grasshoppers everywhere.
^^^^ YES! A girl camped next to us had crazy chaffing on her thighs and she asked to borrow my guys gold bond... she goes into her tent, and we just heard screams! Do NOT put Goldbond onto open wounds!

you forgot spidders..i saw a brown recluse crawling on our tent one morning. it was big too...yuck.
A spider bit me at Bonnaroo a few years ago. Luckily it wasn't poisonous. I didn't even notice it until I got home. Ever since then I've been completely paranoid though! Bug spray is my best friend at Bonnaroo!!!

I am by no means a snake expert, but my limited wildlife knowledge leads me to believe that snakes sense vibrations on the ground, to sense danger or prey or what not. I think the vibrations from the mainstage alone would let all snakes within a mile to stay the fuck away.
