I have been working on expanding our banana and plantain collection, which has grown by at least three dozen newly planted in the last year. In the area where that planting is happening I frequently encounter insects that are unlike any I have seen before. This recent tarantula encounter impressed me. Blue legs. Body armor like a shiny new penny. It got me humming a tune (if you are a fan of Harry Belafonte, you will know this lyric that goes with the tune):
A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wan' go home
If you are not yet a fan, what are you waiting for?
