O lovely creatures that roam my home and keep the bad insects in check. I can’t comprehend why some would smash your species into blood and gore, spilling guts on the walls and on the floors. I would never do that. Uh-ah, never crossed my mind.
At times I see some of you in my kitchen, on my bathroom floor. It is good to have good living creatures in my home because I don’t even keep plants. I can’t recognize your faces, of course, but I can recognize who are the babies, who are the well fed grown ups that have double, quadruple your infant size. Because of that translucent skin of yours, it often amuses me to see your dark bulging stomachs, full of flies and ants, spiders and other bad, bad insects perhaps?
From time to time, my shower area is infested by fat and tiny, slow flying creatures. I would have to smash four or eight of them flat prior to my shower. What an annoyance! And they fly onto my face! Then one of you would arrive, clean the area up. Now I don’t even see flies in my bathroom no more.
You don’t make me jump. Except that one time when one of you fell onto my shoulder while I was showering. I laughed away and really, no harm done.

Hey, it rhymes!
DC – Yes it does, doesn’t it! Thanks for dropping by.
Hahaha… I don’t mind them that much but not KP. Those who trespassed our residence get smashed without mercy, not by KP but rescue team who readily rendered their help! Those who roam in your house are lucky! 😛
JT – I know! Your long time ago blog entry of the brutal murder of these Earth species still lives vividly in my mind. I see my home as the asylum of the geckos.
I read that there will be no gecko if a home does not have bad insects such as small flies, ants, spiders, and small roaches. And they don’t eat human food …
Why are they so many flies in your bathroom? I have mosquitoes in my bathroom but not flies….. you keep food in your bathroom meh?
You mean our home has so many living creatures?? I didn’t know that our bathroom has flies !
Ew…. !!!
Show me those things the next time you see them, and I shall take some action.
erm, you should keep frogs instead of lizards…
haha
May all the geckos in the world gather in your house and save the rest of us the irritating task of killing them 😛
ECL – No food at all! Ha ha ha. I wonder what these flying creatures eat. They are not that big house flies, that much I am sure.
Cynthia – OK, I guess these are flying creatures, not really flies per se. You don’t see them because I kill ’em all each and every morning. Ha ha ha. And now I have my gecko to help out 🙂
DC – Good suggestion! If only I have a pond. That way, the breeding process is taken care of on its own. I don’t even know where these geckos lay eggs.
Darkspore – Good lord … I don’t think I can take more than a couple in my home. At least, I don’t think I have enough bad insects to sustain that population.
And before you get more funny ideas into your head …
Oh lizards are pretty cute as long as they don’t come too near me. But cockroaches are a NO-NO! I will fly faster than they can approach me! LOL! 🙂
btw, that pix was pretty interesting! Was it a flying lizard or a lizard on your glass window? 🙂
Suety – I am with you wholeheartedly on that count. And thanks for noticing the picture. Ha ha ha. One day when we got into our car, we found this lizard (or gecko for a small version of lizard) on the windscreen. As we drove out, I asked Cynthia to start taking pictures using my phone. I thought I may use it for my blog one of these days. So, there you are!
i think this blog is very well written for the harmless lizard. I do agree, they are harmless & they eat up those flying things around, which i dunno what.
So i feel sorry for the lizards that visited my place, & my cat preys & kill them.
Not many lizards around now, cos the cat is more interested in mouse & birds.
Again, i like this post of urs !!
Leen – Thanks! Glad that you like what I wrote. I read that if there are too many geckos, people keep cats to control the population. Well, from what I read about your cat in your site, I am not surprise that every living creature inside your house falls under your cat’s target … ha ha ha.
