Insect infestation

Beware the army ants!

Baby scorpions will stay on the mother's back until their first molt. Gross!

Still no turtles at Ostional, but I did meet this cool dog

Today we woke up and there were about one million army ants going all around our house in crazy patterns. Our whole porch was black! The reason they come is because they clean the jungle by picking up dead insects on their way from the mountains to the sea. They were there for about an hour and then they were gone! The ants made all the scorpions leave their homes and different bugs too. In the morning we saw three scorpions because of the ants. At noon there were three more scorpions and in the afternoon there were two more, all because of the ants. Two of the scorpions had like 50 babies on their backs and it looked so, so gross I feel like barfing thinking about them while I write this. Around lunch Dad and Uncle Jeff set up a little listening station so they could watch a documentary on Rush. When they were done we drove back to Ostional to see if we could find any turtles because today is the full moon and that’s when the turtles sometimes come. But no turtles today L. But we did see the sunset and a horse and a dog. Then we went to an outdoor restaurant at the top of the mountain and went swimming in their pool and had dinner.

Cool fact: the ants hurt so much and I stepped in a big pile of them and like fifteen bit me. Ouch!
