Critters

[icyfroth]

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!

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

It says the animals are in that picture.

Hi, Joanie, the blue ringed octopuss does not live in the Australian bush. It says the animals are in that picture.

I wasn't thinking about the picture but rather Australia, what could get you in your own home garage or even car, or going swimming in the ocean. You peoples live in a dangerious place, here it's only the police that concerns me and so far they just make me wish I would die.

Theres a couple spiders the black widdow and brown recluse, and maybe 3 pit vipers, rattlesnake, cottonmouth and copperhead. But nothing like the critters you have there.
