It’s hot. There are bugs.
Tennessee is a very rural state in most areas. There are lots of trees, plants and wildlife, and this can sometimes include bugs. Prepare for mosquitos, ticks, beetles, and other little critters. Being as Tennessee is located in the south, keep in mind that summer temperatures can reach over 100 f and humidity can rise to 80% +/-.
