    The only critters I saw today were a gecko and a giant roach — or as they like to call them here in Florida, Palmetto bugs.  That painted van is far out!

    Wow! I almost want to print and keep your pictures! That spider somehow reminds me of that Anancy story. Brilliant pictures!

    Do visit and check out my Sunday pictures. And did I tell you I love your Sundays in my City idea? Cheers!

    Hello Unknown Mami, I really like the colourful van.  And you probably know I also like taking pictures of bugs.  Your spider is rather impressive.  Hope you are all keeping well.  Have a fantastic Sunday.
    PS:  Did you get the lightscoop? 😉

    What a cool collection. They’re all quite similar with their focal point, and how their legs/leaves/wings seem to sprout from there.

    You know – I actually woke up this morning thinking of your spider. Weird. And in a strange way, I remembered how, decades ago, when we lived in a different city (Hyderabad), we stayed in a house with a tiled roof (terra cotta type). It was more of a village than a town on the outskirts. We often saw scorpions. I think they would reside in the countless crevices in the roof. Initially this would scare the shit out of us. One day, one of our neighbors was telling us how a scorp crawled on to his bed – but when he turned over, he crushed it – and discovered it in the morning. The man is about 6’2″ and built heavy. Still – that episode still freaks me out.  Couldn;t wait to move from there into a regular concrete house 🙂

      Yeah, I don’t think I could handle sharing a bed with a scorpion. My husband is a Scorpio and that’s bad enough. Honey, if you are reading this, I’m just kidding (not really).
