I'm curious, what bug was that? Semi-related, I once opened the case of my DVD of Blade Runner to find a whole nest of ants inside it, complete with tiny eggs.

I'm curious, what bug was that?
Semi-related, I once opened the case of my DVD of Blade Runner to find a whole nest of ants inside it, complete with tiny eggs. I didn't ask who was the queen and, without much respect for any royalty, killed them all. To this day I wonder what on earth did they find so appealing about my DVD...

Insects, spiders, centipedes, lizards, all had pretty much free range in the houses back then. Every once in a while one of our cats would run up the walls trying to catch something. Years later in Canada, I opened up an old amplifier we'd brought back with us to see if I could get it running again, and inside was a mummified gecko, perfectly dried, sitting on the board. They were constant companions on our walls, keeping the house free of the moths and mozzies.
