LOL!!! Tropical giant wormie...I like it!
I like it too! Hit it right on the head also, as it's hard to get more tropical than where these sneaky ones actually come from! If I woke up on a beach with white sand and a palm tree, I would know I croaked and went to Heaven!! Only problem with SOME places like that is that you sometimes have to be concerned about being an innocent bystander or casualty in some sort of dragged out and often violent, armed struggle for power, whether it's politically-motivated or involves drugs or slave-trafficking! And their conflict-resolution methods are not usually resolved through verbal means! Just sayin'.
That being said, since the mid-90's, I have usually taken it upon myself to risk life & limb - since I AM a risk-taker anyways! - to take a trip SOMEWHERE in the tropics, usually the Caribbean, for at least 2 to 3 weeks out of the year, sometimes longer, if my work allows for it, and not just into the touristy resort areas, but out amongst the local population. Wish I coulda brought back some of the wildlife I saw, but that was just a fantasy in passing, as it would probably not be in the particular animal's interests to even try to remove it from its environment. Speaking of which, don't know if it's actually a fact, but it is said that the Puerto Rican Coqui or tree-frog, which is actually a joy to listen to from dusk till dawn in that island-nation, cannot survive for any significant length of time if taken off of that island, even if the exact climate is reproduced! Is that strange or what?
