What an amazing place we live in! We have been seeing all kinds of new animals, multicolored, and varying in size. One thing that is a constant is that these animals, bugs and such have very little if any fear of humans. They see us as just another life form among a host of others. As the photos display, there are huge grasshoppers, cute possums, toads (reportedly abundant during the summer months), bats (locals call them flying foxes), and geckos. Not pictured but worth noting are the mice, wasps, disease carrying mosquitoes, and 3 inch long roaches not to mention the spiders and snakes but most of these animals are harmless and the latter seem to be pretty rare in the urban areas though the huntsman spiders are prevalent and tend to be quite big, about the size of Kay’s hand and are aggressive. Thankfully, though their bite is painful, they are not poisonous just really imposing especially when they unexpectedly leap a few inches off the ground when provoked...No Worries Mate!
