Dead Lizard

Ewww!!! Spotted a lizard on the floor next to the sink as I was brushing my teeth. I shouted and jumped. Calming down I went neared and peered at the lizard. Unmoving, I presumed it dead. Its feet was not "suctioned" into the ground and it looked like a toy.

Nevertheless, I refused to pick up its body and my heroic hubby disposed the corpse. My hero... :)

Caterpillar in Alien stlye



I am completely in awe of these caterpillar shots by my friend QX. It's like WOW! And I just learnt that the eyes are false eyespots to make them look scarier. I would have never dared to go so close to a caterpillar.. but I will try the next time I see them. 

Hmm.. blue caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland anyone? That just sprung to mind.

Look here, it says one female weevil lay an egg into the grain and it will just multiply. How did the one get in?
