Critters

The summer heat and humidity is sure bringing out the critters.

 

Got up this morning about 4am to close the windows against the thunderstorm. Turned on the light in the kitchen and a big cockroach was feebly crawling on the kitchen floor. Must have got a whiff of the cockroach baits.

Still, it gave me a start. Gave it the coup de grace and put it in the bin.

 

As I was getting dressed for work a bit later, a medium-sized huntsman spider jumped off the ceiling and onto the floor. Another jump-start. I let it go.

 

Heard in the news this morning they are measuring a huge King Brown at the Central Coast's Reptile Park today. Found in someone's backyard. They called it Gigantor.

 

Sharks have closed Central Coast beaches for days.

 

Faaaaaar out!

Re: Critters

You could be right Icy. I was noticing a lot of earwigs in the house a month or two ago. They seem to be gone now. The other night I walked into the bathroom and a cockroach was belly up on the side of the bath. It seemed dead and I just thought the surface spray around the skirting had got him. Knocked it into the bath and turned on the tap and it started swimming! Maybe he was just having a little rest.

Re: Critters

Hi, Joanie, the blue ringed octopuss does not live in the Australian bush.

It says the animals are in that picture.
