I did see a few fireflies in the last week as well. I haven't heard the bats so much, but I have noticed more gecko activity and other insect presence in the hut recently, including a centipede that had the misfortune of finding himself in my wife's hair the other morning. I don't know if centipedes have hearing, but if so, he certainly lost his via my wife's scream just before I squished him.

We have found that these things, for some reason, like to hang out on the clothes we throw somewhere overnight.

One other sign that spring is coming is that I'm back at work. Damn. The good news is that spring semester is always a happier one. I like spring on a university campus.
