A FLYING VISITOR


This creature, as big as the Wright brothers' plane [or so it seemed to me, the perennial city woman] decided to take up residence in our courtyard this morning. I know it's not a good photograph but I wasn't getting any nearer!

I would keep my windows closed tonight if I were you.

They'll eat everything up! We have winged grasshoppers here and they are voracious!

They are shut and barred as I write, Ellee!

You're lucky there was just the one of them. His brothers were probably lurking round the corner.

So glad to find this site. I took your "Sicilian quiz" and found out what I already knew that I am 100% Sicula. How I envy you and your new life in Sicily. Auguri di buona permanenza.

Hi, Bonnie. Yes, I was just reading they've been having trouble with the things even in northern Italy, because of climate change. I couldn't have coped with the rest of its family as well, James! Nice to meet you, anonymous, and glad you like my site. Congrats on your knowledge of Sicily and grazie per gli auguri!
