another quick video post

This isn't the full extent of the critters that visit our house at night but it's a nice selection. We have a cow that lives down the block and moos in the morning, chickens all up and down the road including a courageous one legged chicken, the animals that come into the house include numerous geckos which are welcome as they eat the smaller bugs (namely mosquitoes that plague us here) and they make a cute kissing sound. Our first night here Joe found Mothzilla in our bedroom and I seriously thought it was a bat! The crickets here are ginourmous! About 2 1/2 inches long. We also have praying manti (or mantises?) and they seem big but I have never seen one in real life so I can't say if they are larger than there American brothers. We also have frogs that hop around on the property and some of them make a chirping sound. You can hear in the video clip one of the chirping frogs. We got to see bats down by the ice cream shop earlier this week but thankfully they aren't in our house, yet. So go ahead and watch the video. We will try to make more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qvQWjyBwrI&feature=autofb
