Life in the Rainforest…

…Is very wet! And full of creepy crawlies. It’s living hell for an arachnophobe, but like a giant playground for me!

That said, within 24 hours of arriving we’d experienced…5 rainstorms, a cane toad, a Brown snake in the kitchen (hanging out in a drawer!...and yes they are poisonous!), getting stuck in a spider Web containing a spider as big as my hand, paddling our toes in croc-infested water, an unidentified spider by the bed, beetle larvae, ghekos landing on us all over the place, guanas (like a giant grumpy lizard who likes to steal our chicken eggs!) and more creepy crawlies than you can shake an entomology book at.

My favourite spot so far?!...we finally saw a praying mantis and she was a beaut!!! Photos to follow when we’re back in civilisation!
