We have so many tiny tenants in our house at night, including spiders, lizards, and crickets that come out and are actually found inside the house.

We have three house lizards here; my son gets really happy whenever he sees them come out at night. He loves watching them, but he doesn't want to touch them. Haha

I have a chance to take a picture here because it has spotted some food, but they really tend to hide up high or in dark areas.

Look who's hiding up, up there!

There is a large lizard, but I can never manage to snap a photo of it right when it comes out because it moves quickly and hides again immediately after catching prey; it often reveals only it's head while patieny keeping watch for another meal, whereas the small one comes out frequently and doesn't hide right away.

Because of the frequent rain here wether in the afternoon or in the morning. so many cricket's and other small insect appears in our house at night. I even find them in our water containers during the daytime. I'm not afraid of insects, its just my son. Whenever he sees one, he immediately runs to me and tells me about it. They aren't dangerous or biting, but I don't want them crawling in me. Haha.

There's a big cricket on our curtain actually, there are a lot of them, and they fly back and forth between the walls and the floor.

Even with our resident house geckos keeping watch every night, I have no idea why they never seem to run out. Haha

I had an unexpected visitor tonight—a frog wandered into our house, haha. My kid was excitedly pointing it out, but as soon as he got close, it quickly scurried out.

Another thing we found on the floor was this large spider. My son was really scared—he is terrified of spiders but it stayed on the floor for quite a while before leaving, I'm not sure if eats crickets, though, since I didn't see it happen.

There's an insect I found on the curtains; I see it almost every night, though the ones I see are even smaller.

This big spider starled me! I spotted it inside the pile of wood earlier —my child and in were sun-drying the wood to use for cooking in his birthday next next day but when I saw this huge spider, I didn't finish the task, haha.

I'm not actually afraid of spiders, when I was a kid, I used to joing my cousin's or friends in the forest to hunt them. But come on, a spider this huge? No way! The thought of it crawling on me is terrifying, even if it isn't dangerous. 🙃

But still I'm thankful we have a tiny tenants in the house because Sometimes I use them to help get my child to eat, because sometimes he needs an audience before he'll start eating or drinking water—so we still have plenty of conversations ahead of us involving those lizards! Spiders and insects Hahaha.


That's all for today. I just want to say Thank you for supporting my blogs, I really really appreciate it. ✨🤍 Peace and love. 🫰🏻
