With the 300 different recorded birds and thousands of creatures we only spotted about 8 types of birds and this beetle, the size of my fist, that rumbled like a tank as it flew. In fact I think there may only be 299 types of birds and someone mixed this thing up with the birds..... This is the creature that Aja wanted mentioned in an earlier blog, for as we were taking pictures of it... it leaped at us ... and there is some confusion about who hollered or screamed first and loudest and who started running first.... I say the girls ... they say me..... maybe they should call these Wet-lands the "don't get too close to the wildlife or you will Wet-your-pants-lands" ... right! you chicken girls of mine... anyway whoever jumped first probably had seen the same blue eyes on this bug as on that tough girl on ‘prison break.’ Those of you that have seen the show know how scary she is... anyway we risked our lives to get such up close and beautiful pictures of this bug... I can see why bug watching is not as popular as bird watching... but I know I will be watching out for that bug.. but not that I'm scared or anything...
Aja's comment: We (Layli & Aja) jumped because you (Dad) jumped. I (Aja) was standing behind you (Dad) and Layli jumped because you (Dad) screamed like a little girl.
