  2. Susie, I really like this piece!
    My last adventure was when I started to blog a few short months ago, and it’s my coming adventure as well. It’s been a blast.
    I actually thought I was following you already, and see that I haven’t been. I love your blog. I’m baaaaaack!

  3. Heh heh – nice piece! Maybe “insectoid” for “insect-like” and just “primeval” (without the “-looking”) would give you another two words to play with…
