Jungle mushroom
There are tons of geckos around here, scampering around and making weird bird-like chirping noises. They usually scatter whenever you flip on a light. I cornered this one on a windowsill.... I think he was distracted, admiring his reflection.
I managed to blind him with a flashlight long enough to get a mug shot. Incidentally, I haven't yet tried shooting one with a rubber band to see if it drops its tail, as Ryan alleges.
As I sit in bed reading at the end of the night, my light tends to attract whatever bugs are in the room. I've started keeping a shoe and a camera handy... some bugs get squashed, others get "shot."
I let this guy live. Mosquitos receive no such mercy.
This little thing is stuck to the metal rail outside my room. It's the size of a pea, maybe a little smaller. Who made it? How? What lives inside? Some deadly, previously undiscovered creature from the depths of the jungle? A midget genie for pottery-lovers?
Check out this gal's hairy legs... she could definitely use a shave. And a diet, too... that little spider on the top left is around normal size, so the big spider is almost as big as your hand.
