Creepy-crawlies of PNG 6: Ants and bees
Ants are very industrious creatures, as Proverbs 6:6 testifies: "Go to the ant, O sluggard" (although in the case of termites we'd sometimes rather say "Go to the sluggard, O ant!"). We see lots of them in PNG, and many varieties as well. They are very quick to find any scrap of food not disposed of properly, and alert their fellow ants about a great new food source.
And then some bees...

Creepy-Crawlies of PNG 5: Beetles and bugs
Again, I'm not going to be very scientific here, but here are some beetles and other bugs.
 |
| We do see cockroaches from time to time. Thankfully we haven't had any infestations. |
 |
| It really is blue... |
 |
| Perhaps this one should have gone on the caterpillars and millipedes post, but I missed it at that time. |
 |
| This one was actually in Australia, but I couldn't resist including it. |
 |
| This one was also in Australia, but we've seen similar in PNG. |
