In celebration of the equinox today, we had a visit from a monster!
The house’s outer defenses were holding and the vicious killer hadn’t yet made it into the interior to rip our throats out.
I cautiously approached the alien-like monstrosity, ready for it to fly off into my face and go for my eyes. (Honestly, if it had taken flight when I was getting close, I swear I would have screamed and cried and needed a change of underwear.)
The reality was that it was probably asleep. I did notice later in the day that it had moved to the screen on the next window over, but I never found a need to call 9-1-1 or the National Guard.
Is this the same one that we saw on the front lawn about a month ago? I have no idea, but I doubt it. I suspect it’s just a sign that these tiny killing critters are ever so slightly more common here than in Los Angeles.
