The Neighbors

Well, a neighbor anyway…

I was ready to leave for work today, and this guy seemed to want to get in my way…

I still haven’t quite gotten used to seeing praying mantis around, as they weren’t common out in western Nebraska.

With a little prodding I was able to get him to move enough I could open my door and drive to work though.

In all fairness the human neighbors we have met so far are really nice, it’s just the insects that have been a problem 🙂

Creepy Crawlies

Our house in Atlantic seems to be trying to help get me in the mood for Halloween. I have found two small but still cringe-inducing critters around the house over the last week. I took a minute to look up what they are, and as it turns out the “House Centipede” is somewhat mundane.

All the same, I find them to be incredibly creepy in person. If you doubt me, feel free to follow that link for a better picture. I haven’t mentioned this creature to Heather yet, as she has managed to be out of the room when I found the two invaders. I suppose publishing this will increase the chances she will be concerned about them 🙂
