actually the mosquitos in india are the size of elephants also. man do they love my blood...

also. as for the spiders... i mean they have daddy long legs but those are harmless...i remember holding them in my hand in preschool (which wasn't far from UM actually). they do have these tiny ones the size of my thumb nail. they're annoying... i seem to find them everywhere in my old house. but they don't bother you.

also... fyi, that picture that i took was actually in a place called "shark valley" (go figure!). It's not a normal road, but my brother and i took a tram through the trail and tried to keep count of alligators. i think we lost track after around 40... it's the coolest place ever. My dad even stood right next to them!


see? it ain't that bad.
atleast these are picture of live alligators. 5 years ago, i had the unfortunate luck of seeing 2 dead alligators in one of our canals. heads cut off, legs cut off, tails cut off. This is what greedy people do in florida and i think it's horrible.

alligators and spiders are great down here but man, have you seen the snakes? my dad seems to love going up to them when they're around our house.

later note: banana spiders are the coolest looking things EVER. if you go on a nature trail you're bound to run into one (and in my case it was physically... numerous times...)
