Our Costa Rican rental house came with some interesting guests - mostly strange and wiry worms, large angry ants, spiders, a scorpion and an assortment of blood sucking flies.
Everyday, Kristin would become annoyed at the new carcasses that showed up on the bedroom floor. I was more concerned about the creature creating the carcasses.
I was up in the wee hours to visit the the toilet when I found what appeared to be a baby tarantula. Instinctively, I must have let out a few expletives because Maeve popped out from behind the door and asked what's going on? I told her that I went to the washroom. She said "I don't like being lied to." Subsequently, I confessed to the spider incident. It took a while to go back to sleep after the extermination.
On another day, Kristin and I found a large scorpion in our bedroom washroom. It was black, between 3-4 inches in length and I killed it without mercy using an umbrella that I found hanging in a closet. I did this before I thought to take a photo.
I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
