More Symbiosis

Anything left out overnight in the tropics tends to be assimilated by the forces of nature. It's always a good idea to look twice before putting on your shoes. The guy pictured below camped out in my flipflop most of Monday morning, feasting on gnat-like insects that had been grounded by a heavy rain.

The guy above crawls up my shower drain almost nightly. I'm not sure what the attraction is, but I've never seen any bugs in my bathroom so I figure he's on the job. Roughly the size of your fist, he might be the only toad on the island that dislikes rain. While his brethren bellow happily, he hides under my sink.
