I TOLD you there were monsters under my bed!

It's strange. Although I've barely seen insects outside, specimen inside the house include (but are not limited to) scorpions, 1.5" bees, preying mantis', palm sized spiders, and caterpillars. We told a veteran of South Asia about the bugs and he just smiled. But when we brought up the caterpillar he said, "Was it furry? Oh no. DON'T touch the fury ones!" I guess you can't even trust the cute and fuzzies here.

This guy was about 4 times the length of a lightning bug in the states and had two light on his under-side.                                     These things haven't been a source of anxiety. They add variety from mind-boggling hindi lessons.
