    Village life is not for the faint-hearted (part 2)

    November 23rd, 2009

    Back in May 2009 I wrote about some creepy crawlies that can be found around and INSIDE the house in my village.

    Now back on 7th November we had a family event and I resolved to take note of any encounters and wherever possible, take photos.

    I was not disappointed. There were enough incidents which would cause overweight city slickers to make sudden defensive movements so frequently they supplant the need to consume weight loss product.

    Around 1pm, right outside the main door, resting on a stone was this beauty:

    Around 2pm, somehow I got entangled in a spider web; as I walked inside the house, I saw a medium-sized black-and-white spider crawling up my right calf. It was quickly killed off.

    Early in the evening as I was reaching out for one of those mineral water cups, a praying mantis was waiting there:

    Then, as I made my way to the living room, the following was spotted underneath the sofa.

    After taking some photos, I bent down to have a closer look, then suddenly it flew off – didn’t know it could do that – luckily it didn’t fly into my face.

    Then late at night as I took a shower I felt something crawling on my toe – glancing, it was a centipede, luckily it crawled quickly away.
