Below are a variety of creatures seen where we are staying, many of which were on our veranda. Included are: a fly, the black witch, the hieroglyphic moth, a checkered swallowtail chrysalis, a small spider with a fly it caught, some other moths and a termite.

Madam J discovered this small spider in our bathroom. I’m not sure what kind it is, but it had a cute way of wiping its face with its front paws, or whatever those things are called. I also really like the array of eyes, which seems to include four in front and two on either side. If anyone’s an arachnologist, send in your identification tips!

Our beloved Crépe is gone. We’re not sure where he went, but Madam J thinks he may have blown out the door while the maid was cleaning our room. Below are a few photos of Crépe. Although we tried to provide him with food and water, he didn’t partake (as far as we could see), although he did spend a day sitting with the damp cotton pad. We’ll miss you!!!
