this week in little creatures



this really 'cute' thing is a bat. Turns out their faces are close to a tiny mean pig? Roofs aren't sealed here so there are lots at school. This one was visiting our evening Spanish class.

 
  

Trapping the bat. I look really excited


This little gecko is oh so common here, they're all over the place. However this specific one didn't want to get out of the sink yesterday when I wanted to wash dishes. I don't really freak out about little things, but I don't like these because they move so fast! If I scooped it up I thought it would run all over me. So I flooded him out till he perched on the top of the sink, and then he kept me company while I washed.


 
If you look carefully, there's a baby tarantula on the left, and a beetle thingy on the right. When I first saw this, I thought the spider was taking the beetle home, but nooo. Somehow this black bug managed to overpower a tarantula, dragged it across our yard and onwards. Now Nancy and I are more scared of what this black bug can do than tarantulas!
