We had a mudroom surrounded in glass windows in or last house. I heard glass break and I thought it was a break in! But it was a hawk/falcon type bird. I put on a helmet to protect my face, opened the door, and guided it out the door with a broom. It was fine luckily!

Here in California, we sometimes get assorted spiders, but nothing too weird.

DS went to college in Florida where I was introduced to all kinds of scary creatures! His campus was covered in iguanas, snakes in the campus lake, huge flying insects and whatever other things that were created to terrorize humans! During one visit, we stayed in a rental house in Coconut Grove. We all went out one evening except for my older son who decided he'd rather hang around the house. When we returned, he greeted us with news that a lizard was loose in the house! Lizards terrify me! I think I have an actual, full-blown lizard phobia. My son saw it slip under the door to a locked owner's closet and hadn't seen it since. I closed my bedroom door that night and stuffed a towel under it, hoping the evil creature would not smell my fear and come after me in the night!

I was the first one to get up the next morning and cautiously poked around the kitchen and living room, looking for the reptilian ball of terror. I went to the dining area and there it was, lounging under the table. It turned it's head to look at me and I was sure it bared it's huge pointy teeth with the intent to attack me. I must have squealed loudly because my brother came out of his room. I showed him the terrifying intruder and he laughed in my face (as older brother's do) and proclaimed it was just a harmless baby lizard. He picked it up with a washcloth and put it outside in the bushes. I had visions of it coming back in the house to stow away in my luggage and follow me home!

Mouse, mice years ago.


Also years ago, I was at my next door neighbors house and here comes a bird flying out of the unlit fireplace ( we go hauling butt out of the house lol. Our other neighbor was like what’s wrong and we told him.
He goes in and comes out with this bird sitting on his finger. We always joked an alligator could come walking down the street and give him a hug lol. He was like Dr Doolittle

Scorpions AND Black Widow spiders

I got bitten by a black widow once. Not as bad as I thought it would be. I fear the brown recluse much more. A friend got bitten by a recluse and came very close to losing her leg.

A pregnant raccoon decided that my attic was the perfect place to give birth.
