Why is june called june

The days are long. Where did June come from? Who is Juno? When did June become a name? What do we celebrate in June? What about July? Because bed bugs can attach themselves to clothes, furniture, luggage and even your pets, they can also hitch a ride in your car, rental vehicle, taxi or rideshare. This gives them easy access to anything you transport with you and a free ride to everywhere you go, including your home. But there's a reason why this saying is so old and so well known: bed bugs have been around for a very long time.

These pesky insects have recently seen a resurgence in population and now, it's more likely than ever that you or someone you know will eventually deal with some kind of bed bug infestation.

Suddenly, that phrase takes on a whole new significance! No one wants to share their bed with bugs, and this feeling especially applies to the aptly named bed bugs.

Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on our blood while we sleep. If you've spotted large, black ants in or near your house along with small piles of what looks like sawdust, there's a chance you may have wood ants.

As their name might suggest, wood ants — also called carpenter ants — can cause structural damage to wooden parts of your home. Bed bugs are tiny pests that love to hide in furniture and other common areas. In recent years, bed bugs have gone from living in obscurity to taking center stage in the United States.

But you don't just find them in your home — you can also encounter them while traveling. The names of the months are very old and they come from ancient Rome. Rome is the capital of Italy and several thousand years ago it was the heart of a very powerful empire which is like a kingdom, only bigger.

In the very beginning of the Roman calendar more than years ago , there were only 10 months in the year. The Romans based this version on the ancient Greek calendar. Later, however, the Romans added in two more. The names of some of the months also changed a few times. March was the start of the year for the Romans. The beginning of spring was the time when everyone could go out and start fighting each other, so the month was named after Mars — the Roman god of war.
