Rain and Rodents

It's amazing the burst of life here in Indonesia following the onset of the rainy season. Not only are there flowers falling like rain off the blossoming trees, spawning the awesome tropical fruits that are suddenly everywhere, but I have seen more wildlife than two months ago.
Take this little devil, for instance. Apparently, their entire life lasts about 2 hours, which is long enough to grab something to eat, have some sex with the most attractive bug of the opposite sex it can find in a hurry (I imagine they're not too picky), give birth to a whole crapload of offspring, then fly around a light bulb like an idiot until they crash into it hard enough that their wings fall off, making a nasty mess that I have to pick up in the morning.
The rat population is most definitely on the move, as well. First of all, probably because their home in the gutters has been suddenly filled with terrential floods, and also probably because the flowing water has brought out all sorts of rotten things to the street for them to munch on.
