The approach of the wet season brings choruses of frogs and cricket-type things but also a range of bugs, flies, beetles, millipedes, mosquitoes, flying termites and flying ants. Here is a small selection from my living room, not counting the scorpion I found a couple of weeks ago.
A few weeks ago the fumigators came and sprayed noxious stuff around, inside and out. It was certainly noxious to humans and we got burning skin, inflamed eyes, and wheezing. Now, the insects seem to perish in contact with the floor or the ledges, so I suppose the lethal stuff is still there despite my housekeeper's weekly efforts with what he calls a mopping stick. He told me today that he wouldn't clean until tomorrow because he had to shave. (The lawn.)
I am told the flying termites made a great snow-like effect for the Santa in the shopping mall.

Just catching up with your last few posts - this is yuk! That's one thing I wouldn't like about living somewhere like that. Actually, there are probably quite a few things! Hope the noxious stuff doesn't harm you too much.
