Times that I have screamed out loud

For your amusement, delight or horror, here is a list of occasions when I have screamed out loud since arriving in Burkina Faso.
-An iguana running over my foot during a nighttime latrine visit
-Seeing a cat emerge from a wooded area holding an iguana in its mouth and then the cat basically swallowing it whole



That was the aforementioned cat.

-Pulling out a 1 inch long dead grasshopper out of my backpack
-Finding an inchworm on my skirt
-Coming home to find an iguana rattling around in the window screen (twice)
-Finding a toad in the indoor shower room (I was still clothed so my host brother chased it out)
-Approaching a 3 inch long praying mantis on the spout of a water filter
