I fear ipis. For the non Filipinos, cockroaches are much bigger here in the Phillippines. They’re like Zergs.

Below is a blog post from a few years back:

10 pm… I was alone & I was drawing & I heard the flutter of tiny wings… I thought it was a moth then when I looked…eeeek! Flying ipis! There are very few things on earth scarier than flying ipis…. because you could never tell what it wants to do. I bolted out of my chair & went across the room opposite it & I watched in horror where it would land… It landed on my comics then crawled around Apocalypse & Batman (both action figures)… then it flew again & landed on one of the computers… I could not use swating slippers technique for I did not want o mess up my monitors or have ipis gunk on the computer tables… I ran to the pantry & looked for Raid… all I found was Glade Apple! I went back to my office & I saw it perched on Galactus & I sprayed it with Glade…. spray spray spray!…. which of course was useless but it did make the office smell fresh… then it flew again & I shreiked & it landed on the floor & KILLING STOMP TECHNIQUE! Splotch! “DIIIIE!” And that was the end of Ipis…. adreneline rush from an insect… that is how mundane my life is : )
