Tuesday May 21, 2013. Awesome Nature.
- A small snake! I don’t know what kind. Angela and I both yelped and leaped away when it made the slightest, slowest motion in our direction. All the kids laughed at us.
- Awesome ants. There is a nest of red ants somewhere outside of my door. Despite the fact that their little jaws look like they could induce extreme pain, I greatly respect them because unlike the black ants, they don’t seem to bite unless seriously provoked. Instead, they neatly march along the roof, the laundry line, and around my door everyday cleaning up all of the dead bugs who were flying around the light the night before.
- A scorpion! Unfortunately I had to kill it, this is the rule when its on the porch or around the guest house. I felt very brave. The red ants cleaned up all of the remains.
- A array of preying mantises. Big ones, small ones; red, brown and green!
- A skink! It was hanging out in Josie’s cloth that she was about to wrap around herself. Surprise!
Here is a photo of the product of my bravery:
(For those of you who didn't know either, a Skink is a type of lizard. I had to Google it ... - Laura)
