Predator

My day yesterday was full of critters ranging from snakes to scorpions to geckos to tarantulas.  When I went to the kitchen to make breakfast early this morning I felt something dig into the side of my foot and I immediately jumped sideways thinking it was a scorpion or something with a similarly curved tail. Happy that I didn't seem to have any pain in my foot I looked down at the floor to find out what had just tried to attack me.

There, staring coolly back at me from the tile floor, was a dry piece of rice noodle. Vicious.
