Look what the rain brought in

We've been getting more rain in Malawi. The farmers finally planted their maize a couple weeks ago, and the maize is about 4-6" tall on the farms in my area.

Besides the good planting conditions, the rain has also brought about some new creatures. I put a pencil in for scale because that is one giant snail!

This millipede is pretty big too. He liked my new garbage pit and decided to head down to check it out. I really hope he stays out of my house.

Also, look what I found on my papaya tree yesterday morning!
