Our Trip to the Swamp

This is a excellent drawing depiciting many swamp celebrities.
I particularly like Toad. The centipede pictured here may actually be a millipede, a very benign creature compared with the aggressive and predatory centipede. But for the sake of this blog we will pretend that it is in fact a centipede. The mix of critters in this jar will most likely prove to be a fatal melange. Hard to say who will be left when Marie-Tangerine gets home. Spider and Centipede may engage in their murderous grappling. Gnat's days are probably numbered. Toad might eat everybody but Snail.

I think centipedes are very creepy and much smarter than we give them credit for. They know when they've been spotted and remain perfectly still, hoping that somehow our roving eyes will overlook their hundred tentacular, waving arms. They move very quickly, however, when they see a large book heading their way at superspeed. (not a library book)
