Is this thing? No idea, and while Kenneth and Darleen told us what it was in Spanish, I can't remember. Just know that it's big, brown and crawly. . . Spotted it on one of the rocking chairs the other day, just where you would put your head if you plopped down into it. It's supposed to be a jumping insect, but one of its rear legs was missing, so it wasn't able to leap at all. . . Looks pretty scary, but since Kenneth and Darleen didn't get too worked up about it, we figured that it wasn't anything too dangerous, so we just took some pictures and watched it make its way to the ground (with some assistance from Kenneth) and then head out for parts unknown.
The variety of insects, animals, birds, plants, etc., down here is truly amazing. I'm not much of a bird person, or plant person, but even I will stop and stare at some of the things we come across. We will spot a bird that we have never seen before, and it will have the most brilliant colors, that we just stop and look at it. Never have taken the time to do that before. I don't think we're going all-Thoreau on everyone or Mosquito Coast, but it is nice to check out the various things around here, and it's very pleasant to be surprised on a regular occasion.
