Despite what you might think, we actually see fewer bugs in Ecuador
than we did in Nebraska. Think of summer nights in Nebraska and how the
bugs swarm any light bulb outside or even inside the house. Here in
Shell, the street lamps might have a dozen bugs circling the glow but
that's it. We eat outside without screens or bug spray. We see one
mosquito a month. However, while we may not see a great number of bugs,
the larger sizes of the ones we do see and their uniqueness makes up for
it. Here's a sample: |

Neighbors caught this giant jungle cockroach. Eeuwuh!
Jayson's hand. Giant leaf bug.

This leech was crossing the cement outside our backdoor. It was washed up by a hard rain.
