So I go out this morning to check on the bat poop situation and I find bat poop alright, but something really disgusting as well.  It looked like a large partly digested caterpillar.  Anyway, it was meaty and it had intestines and antennae.  After washing that off, I found a porcupine quill in the garage.  Now I know what is trying to eat my papaya tree.  Don't worry, I have covered the trunk of the tree with mesh so the critter can't get it.  Oh the joys of living with wildlife.

It really is lovely and more delicate than you would think.  It may be from a baby.  They use them to make all sorts of curios.
