I'm treating it very lightly, but apparently they are from Africa and a serious environmental threat. They can, over time, consume a house and lots of other scary things.

Maybe you need to get to know their individual names, so you can have some restraint orders issued.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.com
