It's hard to get your children to maintain an open mind about things in life that they have never seen before when you yourself scream when you see THIS swimming in your pool one morning.
Can anyone tell me what it is? The Malagasy have a word for it but don't know what the translation is in French or English. I'm not even sure that it's an insect. It might be a small animal. Yikes!
On another note, I took this photo just outside the Jumbo grocery store. The photo doesn't really do them justice. Trust me. They are HUGE. We are talking the size of my hand. I don't think I have ever seen spiders this size before. I haven't shown them to the Bambina yet!
The cockroaches are also the size of the palm of my hand but in my earnest bid to get rid of them from my kitchen as soon as f-ing possible, I didn't bother taking a picture.
