Transience


This handsome and photogenic little fellow spent a couple of months with us, hanging out in a potted rubber tree we kept on our deck. Until one day, just like that, he was gone. I like to imagine that he moved on to a more spacious or inviting screened in porch to start a family. Of course, he may have simply ended his days in a warm pool of digestive juices, but I prefer not to dwell on that possibility. That is one advantage of being a city dwelling human, a much lower probability of being eaten alive.
