Gardening in PNG

The kids found a huge 'banana spider' in our garden the other day, completely harmless but oh so ugly and super-sized. I have been looking, and they are everywhere. Mostly nice and high and out of the way, and thankfully (oh so thankfully) not in the house.

I also discovered what is eating my garden plants. Tiny(but apparently very hungry) little snails. Meggy had a collection day (bottom picture).
