Every night before I go to bed I never fail to find something scary. The other day I killed a scorpion- a poisonous one. I killed it with a rock. It was ready to strike. My mom thinks there are probably more.
So far we have seen a giant grasshopper, an assassin beetle (it carries a deadly disease called Chagas),
plenty of mosquitoes, a giant cockroach, a giant beetle, giant spiders, daddy long legs, etc.
This is a tailless Whip Scorpion. A bunch of these live in our storage building.
There are too many of them. My mother says she is not too happy about that. I agree- it is really hard to get a mosquito net to stay on a bed!
