Topic for today’s blog: BUGS
Thursday, November 13th, 2008Thirdly, we had a tarantula! A big hairy grey one that also was rewarded with a photo shoot before Lukasz had to carefully place it outside- this one could be dangerous.
Fourth- the leaf bug… This one was really cool because it seriously looks like a leaf and has white and red stripped eyes that pop out of its head. Lukasz put it onto a tree in the back yard and it swayed back and forth just like a leaf would. Amazing.
Fifth- One day, I came out on our porch and see a trail of little poop pellets all over the porch and down the stairs. Apparently, when no one was looking a team of goats came all the way up a flight of stairs and someone scared the crap out of them- LITERALLY.
Sixth, every once in a while-usually during the night, you can hear a squad of rats (referred to as squirrels by those freaked out by the use of the word RAT) running and squealing around the roof. One usually hopes they won’t fall through the holes in the ceiling.
Lastly, we have the famous story of the Japanese Komodo Dragon. One day Miss Alexi was sleeping in her room safe and sound while she was rudely awakened by a massive creature outside her door. It was making all sorts of funny noises and trying to kill her, she swears. She waited and attempted for the sound to stop. No Luck. Finally, she decides to call Ben (the guy with the red hair and red hat). Ben comes to rescue pulling away Barbegg (Trade aid’s dog) from the scene. No Japanese Komodo Dragon here- they are all in Japan I suppose.
