Unfortunately for that rodent, it is no longer among us.  So sad.

I remembered another Hawaiian critter story.  Unfortunately I did not get a picture of this one, so I will try to describe it as best I can.

I was sitting on the toilet and happened to look down at the bath mat.  There was what looked like a gecko tail among the rug fibers.  I have 3 cats who take out on average one gecko per day, which I have the pleasure of witnessing.  Anyway, I took a piece of TP and went to pick it up and throw it away (daily crazy critters have given me slightly more courage in this department) but it fucking LATCHED ON to the rug and TWIRLED.  I just about lost my breakfast.  No gecko, just the tail twirling, mind you.  I grabbed the rug and put it outside for MS to deal with.

It turns out that (OMG this is creeping me out just typing it) gecko tails CONTINUE TO MOVE even when detached from the body so as to mislead their prey.  Oh. My. God.

Anything worm-like is revolting (that would include gecko tails).
I'll have to go take a pic of another revolting creature in my yard - it's called a slail.  Oh never mind, it's too gross to contemplate.

i'm rather ok with wormies. i did step on a larva ones and had a panic attack just imagining the mushed insides of the poor thing. but the larva i guess survived my accidental stomp... so they told me.

I usually find wormy things more interesting than revolting, mind you I used to go fishing so I had plenty of opportunity to observe them while not catchng owt. :P

ever seen mealworms milla? now those are fun. I went to an exhibition thingy once where there were huge bran tubs with GIANT mealworms. I put my arm in to feel what it was like (as you do), and they have forelegs, like caterpillars. I took half a dozen home with me up the sleeve of my shirt, I hadn't noticed the buggers climbing up. my mam wasn't right impressed as I remember it.  ;D
