Unwelcome apartmentmates Part II

Not only do I have enormous cockroaches in my apartment, but my bathroom appears to be the breeding ground for a genetically mutated form of mosquito. It looks like a daddy long-legs with wings.

Pholcus phalangioides + wings = my apartmentmate.

It seems that this land of resilient, persecuted people has passed along its ability to adapt and persevere even to its bugs. Or maybe these bugs made aliyah.

interesting. we had mutant insects in china as well. make sure you cover yourself up at night, so you dont wake up at 3am with a roach smothering your face.


XOXO

sam: that was a joke-- about bugs making aliyah. like haha bugs immigrated to the holy land also. but now that i had to explain it i might as well delete it.
