Bugs that come out after a rain are typically heading for a juicy leaf or two from your favorite vegetables or flowers. A few of the creepy crawlers that benefit from wet weather include Rain beetles, wherein they feed in the root zone of the trees causing decreased vigor and low yields during its larval stage. Another set of insects are the winged ants, for they emerge from a fire ant mound after rainfall. Also watch out for those earwigs for they rise to feed on soft annual foliage such as coleus and marigolds specially during the night.
