AUTOTOMY

We have issues with ants. Since we’re in the tropics you might think mosquitoes are the problem, but we get a lot more ants in the apartment than mosquitoes. It’s amazing how fast these tiny beasts find leftover morsels. One day I was at the computer writing after lunch. About an hour later when I came out of the trance, I noticed a line of ants behind me, coming down the wall and across the floor to the garbage. They’d found the empty tuna can in the garbage with a few remaining pieces of fish that I hadn’t dug out of the groove. This is why we only have very small garbage cans and the trash is put out every day. It’s too bad the geckos don’t seem to have an appetite for them.
