The rain is by far something I love, the weather, the temperature of the environment, even the thunderstorms that usually come with it, are for me something great, but on top of that there are the effects it causes in nature, some animals begin their life cycle thanks to the arrival of the rain. Every year with the first heavy rain usually emerge what is called here bachaco culones, which is the Black Chicatana ant, these leave their colonies to look for other places where to create new colonies.
Besides these big ants, there are other smaller and winged ants that are called here "grandmothers", but these grandmothers do bite hard, and I imagine that the chicatanas must also do it because of its big size, these come to measure a little more than 2 centimeters long. I remember that when I was little, in company of my cousins we went to the garden of my grandmother's house and we crushed them, nowadays it gives me a sensation of indescribable disgust to crush an ant of these. Last night this little friend came into the house, as far as I can see she lost her wings, we usually see them flying, their wings are even bigger than their bodies.
Another of the gifts of the rain this week have been these little ones, two small morrocoy Amazon Turtle, when I was about 8 years old they gave me my first morrocoy and after a few years they gave me a couple for that one, since then they have reproduced and I have given a lot of these friends, and already today I have the courtyard of the house full of them, the truth is that I have lost count of how many there are.
Every year on this date they begin to emerge and we must be alert because many times some animals catch and eat them, this time there were three that had come out of their eggs and unfortunately, at dawn some animal ended the life of one of them, being able to find alive only two, but I am sure that they will continue to emerge more, which means that the place where I have the ones that came out last year is becoming small.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get a home for these little ones, because many people today do not want to have pets or any kind of animals in their homes, I had planned to release a few of these in the field, but the truth is that I am a little afraid that some animal will eat them, that is the big problem of emotional attachment.

Rain is definitely life, even if it sometimes represents the opposite!

La lluvia es por mucho algo que amo, el clima, la temperatura del ambiente, incluso las tormentas eléctricas que suele venir con ella, son para mi algo genial, pero además de eso están los efectos que causa en la naturaleza, algunos animales comienzan su ciclo vital gracias a la llegada de las lluvias. Todos los años con la primera lluvia fuerte suelen emerger lo que aquí le llaman bachacos culones, que es la Hormiga Chicatana Negra, estas salen de sus colonias para buscar otros sitios donde crear nuevas colonias.
Además de estas grandes hormigas, salen otras mas pequeñas y aladas que son llamadas aquí “abuelitas”, pero estas abuelitas si que muerden duro, e imagino que las chicatanas también deben hacerlo por su gran tamaño, estas llegan a medir poco más de 2 centímetros de largo. Recuerdo que cuando era pequeña, en compañía de mis primos nos íbamos al jardín de la casa de mi abuela y las aplastábamos, hoy en día me da una sensación de asco indescriptible aplastar una hormiga de estas. Anoche entro a la casa esta amiguita, por lo que veo perdió sus alas, por lo general las vemos volando, sus alas son incluso mas grandes que sus cuerpos.
Otro de los regalos de la lluvia de esta semana han sido estos pequeñines, dos pequeños morrocoyes Tortuga del amazonas, cuando tenia unos 8 años me regalaron mi primer morrocoy y luego de unos años me regalaron una pareja para ese, desde entonces se han reproducido y he regalado un sinfín de estos amigos, y ya hoy tengo el patio de la casa lleno de ellos, la verdad es que he perdido la cuenta de cuantos hay.
Lamentablemente no he podido conseguirles un hogar a estos pequeños, pues muchas personas hoy en día no desean tener mascotas o ningún tipo de animales en sus casas, tenia pensado liberar unos cuantos de estos en el campo, pero la verdad es que me da un poco de miedo que algún animal se los coma, ese es el gran problema del apego emocional.

Todos los años en esta fecha comienzan a emerger y debemos estar pendientes, pues muchas veces algunos animales los atrapan y se los comen, en esta oportunidad eran tres los que habían salido de sus huevos y lamentablemente en la madrugada algún animal acabo con la vida de uno de ellos, pudiendo encontrar con vida solo dos, pero estoy segura de que seguirán emergiendo más, lo que significa que el lugar donde tengo los que salieron el año pasado se esta quedando pequeño.

¡Sin lugar a dudas la lluvia es vida, aunque en algunas ocasiones represente lo contrario!

I love turtles...But this ant looks like some wild...I frankly say i like ants too but as i said...It looks like a wild alien which is out of a horror-sci-fiction movie...:D
I like pictures...Rain really came with its gifts.
Have a nice day...
If the truth is that these ants are terrifying, and I don't even want to imagine what a bite from them would be like! Surely the rain is a blessing!
They are cute and scary!
Nature is beautiful! Very nice post!
What a lovely post here and so glad that you are not squashing the ants anymore.
Those little turtles are also so cute.
The rain is indeed a blessing and strangely I also did a rain post today.
But of course yours is much better than mine!
Blessings and have a nice weekend!
I don't think mine is better, your posts are great, your pictures are great! I'm very flattered that you would tell me this! Blessed weekend to you too! A big hug!
A big hug right back my dear friend.
I think that yours are better!
Blessings!
Se ve que esas hormigas te muerden y te ponen a llorar ajajjaa, comparto el mismo sentimiento la lluvia es lo mejor, el clima fresco, y lo relajante del sonido que emite la lluvia, muy bueno tu post. Saludos!
Esas hormigas te muerden y minimo se te cae un brazo jajajaja, tienen unas tenazas gigantes!! Mil gracias, saludos para ti tambien, feliz fin de semana
