The night walk

The snail has its shell on the side, not standing up.
Spiders as big as my hand.
A whiptail scorpion.
A cricket - not a weta - we thought it was a weta.
A cave centipede
An orange spotted tree frog
A leech, Wayne thought they were caterpillars and tried to put one back onto a leaf. When we got home I found one on my leg and I did not like the feel at all...all of and squishy...and I bleed for about 2 hours afterwards. They are not nice.
Believe it or not this is a scorpian hiding. It was the closest we could get to a real scorpion.
We were very lucky to see a slow loris...it is a nocturnal mammal and very small, but absolutely adorable.
