  1. Pigeons
  2. Lizards
  3. Sparrows
  4. Ants
  5. Domestic spiders > arañas domésticas

Many years ago used to be grasshopers, dragonflies, butterflies... but they've just vanished because lately there are more concret and less green areas.

se puede usar do para enfasis pero no es necessario. - BellaMargarita, JUN 9, 2010
se puede usar domestic para referirte a un animal domado por eso la traduciría como domestic spider. Ten en cuenta que la palabra domestic tiene un definición mas amplia que la palabra domestico en español. - BellaMargarita, JUN 9, 2010

En verano también hay muchos mosquitos, hace calor dentro de la casa y al abrir las ventanas y puertas estos entran y molestan. También hay muchos grillos.

Morbo, we can just repeat everything you said above and just add cockroaches, termites, and rats. There were even fireflies when I was still a kid, but most people here now don't even know what they are really like anymore.

I know someone who grew up somewhere they didn't have fireflies and always thought they were an urban legend until she came to the East Coast and saw one. :) - MacFadden, JUN 9, 2010
They're nature's "miracles" that I really miss. - Rikko, JUN 9, 2010
Wow, I'm seeing them outside my windows right now. - Yeser007, JUN 9, 2010

Squirrels, deers, armadillos, raccoons, opossums, nutrias (also called nutria rats), coyotes, bobcats, alligators, turtles, bats, skunks, rabbits, lizards, frogs, toads, various snakes, mice, rats, and javelinas (wild pigs - also called peccaries).

Birds - Mostly mockingbirds, grackles, sparrows (various), mourning doves, starlings, blue jays, robins, woodpeckers (various), pigeons, owls, hawks, buzzards, red-winged blackbirds, pelicans, gulls, sandpipers, rosetta spoon bills, and too many other species to mention (especially depending on what time of year it is)

Lots of insects, annelids and other creepy-crawlies: june bugs (Phyllophaga), moths, doodle bugs, earthworms, ants (ugh), earwigs, butterflies, dragonflies, termites, cicadas, nematodes, bees, wasps, and more.

If you count the creeks, bayous estuaries and bays near where I live, there are also hundreds of different species of animals living there as well.

Here on the east coast of Massachusetts we have lots of pigeons, sea gulls (gaviotas), and sparrows. We also have lots of squirrels (ardillas), chipmunks (ardillas listadas), and deer (venados).

Chipmunks. They're cute, but effectively furry termites as far as house foundations go!

I live in a city with skyscrapers, subways and tons of people. I feel left out because I don't have the same variety of wildlife that others are describing in my neighborhood. We basically have squirrels, pigeons and rats (may I never cross paths with the rats!!! gulp big surpriseshock

¡Hay más palomas que personas en la ciudad de Filadelfia!

There are more pigeons than people in the city of Philadelphia. wink
