As with any office from time to time inter-departmental conflicts arise and are usually resolved peacefully. Such was not the case only days after the final touches were put on the new thatch roof of the “office”. A friend had stopped by to advise me that he would be staying overnight, when he received an urgent call that had to be answered in the newly refurbished office, and he proceeded to walk in on one of these inter-departmental conflicts that had turned deadly. Seems the Executive Secretary (whom I might add, was a new employee that I had not met as yet) had become totally fed up with the calling cards left behind by one of the insect control people. Not only was this underling being chew out, he was being litterly eaten!!!
Now let me explain, insect control is handled by bats who hang around during the day and work the night shift, and one very large toad.
Bufo granulosus, I think
Commonly called Crap-O, No Pun intended, but the Calling cards left by these Guys resemble that left by Un-house broke Poodles.
I have on numerous occasions had to dodge these calling cards, but figured as long as he was doing his job keeping the mosquito population under control I could over step his calling cards.
Not so with the Executive Secretary Clelia clelia
Who has a dislike for sales men and is known to attack and kill and eat messy office personnel as well as rattlesnakes.
So he/she was left to literally devour the messy office boy. By the time I arrived home a couple of hours later, the Secretary had a definite bulge in the midsection and was getting ready to leave for the day to sleep off the meal.
