Living With Insects and Spiders


Judith: Ahh! Get it off me! 


Murad: It’s just a tiny spider. Don’t freak out. 


Judith: I hate spiders. What is this place you’ve brought me to? 


Murad: It’s one of the most beautiful spots in the world and we’ll be staying here tonight. 


Judith: You mean we’ll be roughing it in this cabin? Is that a cockroach 1 that just ran across the floor? 


Murad: Maybe. In this place, you’ll see some of the most amazing things. It’s the next best thing to sleeping in the open. 


Judith: Great. Can you close that window? There are flies and moths 2 everywhere, and I think those were bees and wasps 3 just outside the door. 


Murad: They won’t bother you if you don’t bother them. Listen to that! We can fall asleep to the sound of crickets. 


Judith: Ouch! I think I’ve just been bitten by a giant mosquito. 


Murad: You’re imagining things. Look at those butterflies just outside the window. Don’t you think they’re beautiful? 


Judith: Do you know what would look beautiful to me right now? A really big mosquito net!
