Hoo boy! I haven't been bit by one of the centipedes yet so that really got my attention. They are inside everything I move out in the yard, if I water they come pouring out and slithering away. Some of then are a couple inches long. I haven't seen a scorpion in this house yet, we had a fair sized black one in some towels on the floor over at the condo one time, that's on the 3rd floor! I'm sure they are around but hopefully the cat gets them. It turns out that cats are great scorpion hunters, they are faster than the scorpion so rarely get bit, they wear them out and then kill them. My dog got bit on the nose by one up in Jalisco, we gave him some benedryl and he was OK. Silly mutt, he went right back over to the same area the next day. I shake out everything I pick up off the floor though, and shake out closed shoes before putting them on. Maybe that's why I hardly ever wear anything but flip flops.
I like the geckos, I click back at them sometimes and they answer. Right now the bats are becoming a problem again because the banyan fig in back has fruit. They cruise through the terrace and leave splat marks on all the walls, that poop is really hard to get off. Ahh, the tropics, you gotta love it or you'd go mad from the heat and the bugs.
