The Japanese Hornet....YES IT IS REAL. We did not take this picture but I wanted to post this one so you can see the actual size of these beasts. Brett has seen one flying around in person. One hornet can literally wipe out 1000s of honey bees.

Creepy Crawlies
Bugs are defiantly bigger out here. Every time we see one we freak the heck out. Everything looks like it has escaped from a nuclear reactor. Here are some of the things we have seen so far.

Devouring their prey
A winged ant. The little tanks are a force to be reckoned with.
Jumbo woodland spiders are EVERYWHERE! Seriously you cannot walk around anywhere and not find a web with the spider and all his spider lady friends somewhere close. I took this picture right outside our building. GROSS!
