Jerry’s right - I should have included ‘plaster’ there are hundreds of types of bagworms

These are bug cocoons, and the fucking things will destroy your curtains, clothes etc. Gecko poop looks like poop from small birds, black with a smaller white topping. While I'm on the topic, has anyone else noticed that there aren't so many geckos around anymore?
