Abejas
- bees - came to school one day (what ever happened to "little lambs"
like Mary's?), resulting in an unscheduled holiday. Photo by Ted Hill.
Check out this news story (in Spanish) about another school with bee visitors.
Termitas
- termites! These are really bad news. This colony set up
housekeeping in the site office and built access ramps to a bulletin
board. No doubt they can find their way up the inside of block walls,
should the roof beams prove tasty. I understand that CARE is using treated wood,
but that at least one of the Red Cross projects does not. Could any trash
that was buried under the floor or in the walls attract these insects?
Yum!
Bulletin boards taste good and are nutritious!
How long before the Casa de Madera looks like this? Now we know
what the scorpions eat.
Vacas
- cows. No, this is not Marcovia, but the cattle roam there as well.
Oh give me a home -
