Somewhat related to the spider story above, years ago when we lived in Dallas TX, we had one of those bug zappers just outside the back door for the patio. It ran every night. We noticed a frog started showing up nightly. He just sat underneath the zapper waiting for dinner to drop from the sky every night. He got big - very quickly!

On the "strange" things list- we've got a small wooden box (4x6) with a tile top that has a painting of a chicken sitting on a nest. Over the years, it's been kept in a kitchen drawer - and every time someone finds something small around the house that is somewhat "undefined" - we put it in the "chicken box." It's grown to quite a collection of miscellaneous hardware - screws, nails, bolts, nuts, little pieces of plastic, some odd keys that we don't know what locks or doors they open, etc. The intent was to keep things that we might realize later what they belonged to, but the box seems to never get cleaned out...
