Gutter Trash!

This here is a fairly innocuous looking gaijin trap. It's only about 2 feet deep, and is lined with plants. But remember! These suckers are on each side of the narrow roads- anytime a car comes near you, you walk the gaijin-line! As previously mentioned, all sorts of creatures live in these. I refuse to photo any of the nasty looking spiders, but you can check out some of the fauna below.
This guy lives near us. We tried to pick him up, but he's really fiesty for being so tiny. I've seen loads of these guys deep-fried at the supers-> mmm, gutter crabs.
Ok, so this is the same guy as above, but I've already redone this entry three times, so you'll just have to look at him again. Oh, and just to remind everyone- we live in the mountains! Why are there bitty crabs in the gutters here? The world may never know.


This is one of a family of three frogs living in the trap near us. He's so cute! Sadly, we haven't seen any of these guys since the cold weather hit.
