BUGS!

The other night was like a scene from an Alfred Hitchock movie. It was pouring rain and every creepy crawly thing that lives outside was attempting to get in and many of them succeeding. Within minutes of the onset of the rain, moths were pouring in through cracks around the screens. I looked up to see hundreds of flying bugs outside. Before I could plug up all the holes in the screens 2 lizards and probably 50+ bugs found their way in. After trying to beat them off for a few minutes, I finally retreated to the safety of my mosquito net covered bed. Once the power went out the lack of light calmed things down. I came out the next morning to a ground covered in bug carcasses (apparently these particular flying things only last a few hours).... not one of the prettier sides of life here.

Last night I was much smarter and all doors were tightly shut at the first rumble of thunder and I could watch the idiot bugs swarm my porch from the protection of my bug free living room.
