The other day as I was walking home from the bus stop, I saw the above crazy caterpillar in one of our trees. "Whaaaaaat?" I said to myself. It couldn't be real. It looked like it was made of playdough. I mean, just look at that adorable face and those adorable feet and that adooooorable tail!!!
Then I looked at the rest of the tree, and it was covered in 'em!
The more I stared, the less adorable and the more creepy the whole thing became. Some of them had weird fluids coming out of their bodies, and some of them had alien-like faces. I ran in to grab my camera and snap a few pictures, but after a minute of snapping and staring I started to get the heebie-jeebies and had to get away. As I was walking towards the stairs to go back inside, a little gecko made an appearance.
(why yes, you
do spy some crab sheets hanging out to dry!)
Geckos are everywhere here. There must be a dozen of them living on our house. They're friendly though, and they eat all the bugs, so we like them to stay close.
Stay tuned for future episodes of
Creatures of the Caribbean! There are these freaky huge green-blue ombre lizards that I see from time to time, but so far they've been too quick for me to be able to get pictures. In the meantime, let your imaginations run wild.
