Imagine sitting on the toilet, minding your own business but then you start to feel like someone, or something is watching you. This is what happened to me when I was staying in Colombo with some friends. I can tell you, after looking over and seeing this guy I felt a little vulnerable with my pants around my ankles and all. Scale: the tiles are 6 inches wide.
This is one of my favorites and I know some of you have already seen my dung beetle but I figured he should be up here for posterity. To get an idea of scale, the ball o' dung is about 1.5-2 inches in diameter.You can find previous oddity posts here and here.

Interesting. Do you always bring your camera to the toilet?
Of course! Don't you? In all seriousness, I made haste and got the hell out of there and grabbed my friend Tom and my camera. I was happy to see this guy had not moved. I had feared that he was not there when I came in and was making his way closer to me, just waiting for the right moment to spring (spiders tend to jump here). So I was relieved when I found him where I left him. Unnerving to say the least...
