    Today I had to work in our records shed shredding old files. Had some boxes been sitting there for a decade. Opened one and there was a whole colony of big ants living in it.

    They were scrambling to take the babies away.

    I took the box outside so they could escape. Shook them all out and put the papers back. Hopefully there wasn't too much damage. Glad we really didn't need those files.

    Oh, I also found some old gecko eggs in the boxes.

    Geckos live in houses down here. I used to share an apartment with one, who made the rounds from one end to the other. It was pretty big and I also found one of these eggs in a flower pot. It never hatched.

    Just part of living in the sub tropics.

    The gecko eggs are much smaller than I would have guessed.

    Yikes about all those ants. You are very level-headed about it. I would not be at all!

    Cool Shale! I could do without the Ants though.
