How did Holly not know the bug was on her head before Alix asked and Val also not saying anything? Did she not feel any tickling on her scalp?

When i was living in arizona i had a job, for a time, on a golf course.When you had to open a valve box, for some reason, it was a good thing if it was full of cockroaches.If it wasn’t it usually meant that there was a Black Widow in it.…someplace in it…

Youngest used to hide bugs under her bed. The oldest would scream like there was not tomorrow when she found them. Funny as all get out.

I just looked it up. They hiss by expelling air from parts of their abdomen. I guess they weren’t disgusting enough already.
