Meu Bichinho

Bicho in general in portuguese means bug/creature/animal/insect of some sort. In nordestino (north eastern brazilian portuguese- yes, theres a difference) it means kids to them! LOL Buut today we will talk about real bichos-the insects and creatures we had to share our space with..and I do mean yes inside the house and out.

So there were mosquitoes, ants, flying crickets (they FLEW AND JUMPED!), flying roaches, centipedes, snails galore, catingas (that were like lizards) and tarantulas. I'm not a fan of bugs but they really didn't freak me out that much. If we wouldve had mice/rats I would've LOST MY MIND! One day there was catinga poopie on my headboard and I freaked out..thought it was mice poop. When I found out it was just catinga poopie I was just fine!

Bruno, however, HATES bugs so he'd jump up and freak out at night that things were jumping on him. It was all in his head. Anyway those mosquitoes managed to eat only ME up --even with a mosquito net. I think he's too hairy and they'd just get trapped in the hair. *chuckle*

Tarantula on Fire- Why Did Marcelo Burn it? I Don't Know.
Guess He Likes to Burn Crap in the Backyard
Why is this pic here? Where if you had a microscope you could see ALL the microscopic bichos in this crap. This is the drainage water that runs in the street thats probably CHOC full of worms and bacterias!
