I was lying in bed (in the dark) with Diego-san lying next to me (in the dark). Next thing I knew he was over knocking some of my CDs off the storage shelf. I dragged my butt out of bed, turned on the light already scolding him. I looked up on the wall above the shelf and sure enough there was a spider just out of Diego's reach. How does he do that? It was an eensy weensy spider after all. I'm sure it's all about superior night vision and detecting movement but this was impressive even by Diego's standards...

That is really amazing. I have no idea how he could have found a teensy spider in the dark like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's rather impressive. I don't quite get so excited about insects these day. Perhaps I am old or perhaps I have been an outdoor cat all my life (until recently) that I have accepted them as part of the landscape unless they move.
ReplyDeleteWe can hear them with our eyes. Really, we can!
ReplyDeleteIs Theo part of the Tuxi Gang Hideout? Because he should be...
We can hear spiders. They are really quite noisy.
ReplyDeleteDid Diego go "chee, chee, chee" at the spider? That is what I do.
ReplyDeleteSpider Radar!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMom is very impressed! She does NOT like spiders!!!!!
