Saw a red firefly, saw a blue firefly.
Saw a miniature version of a weta, which should only exist in New Zealand.
Saw some other creature that shouldn't exist here but I can't remember what it was. I think it was something Asian.
There are lots of wasps, more than usual. Lots of lizards, more than usual. More snakes than usual.
Oh, I saw a weird thing that looked like a red ant on the upperbody but had a yellow/black striped abdomen. Not a red velvet ant, and no photos/searches match what I saw. It was either a wingless wasp/bee or a weird exotic ant.
So the uptick in typical creatures is most likely related to the temperatures/climate, but these other creatures... either they've been here all along and they're just rare, or they hitched a ride in on a cargo container or something.
