Well, not on the ceiling per se, but they do make appearances in the kitchen, living room and garden. My mother tried to use sulphur to ward the snakes off - I have no idea how - but she gave up a few months later (note, I live in an upper class neighborhood). My grandmother's house has a snake wedged between the floorboards for two days before everyone found out! If it's small size or green, we usually leave them alone. If it's black or diamond-head, we call the fire department. Also, if you hear noises coming from the ceiling at night, you're not dreaming. My mother says it's rats, but judging from the noises I heard, I don't think it's a rat.

Ooh! we have toads living in our fishpond in the front garden! We even have a small colony at the local prayer centre that lives by burrowing under the trees!

As for the moths, they're Atlas Moths :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_moth . They usually come after the monsoon season when everything is growing. I usually spot them fluttering and resting all over the school and one of them even rested on my hand!

I hope you'll be lucky and see one soon! :D

(note; our school, despite being four stories tall and made out of concrete is pretty much open to the elements. Walled corridors? What are walled corridors?)

I have noises in the ceiling too! They sound pretty big for rats I have to say, but I have seen some pretty big rats. I put the cat in the ceiling every now and again, and that seems to keep them quiet. And the geckos seem to keep the bugs down in the house.

Introduced cane toads occasionally make their way into the house, which is not good, because they're poisonous and they like the pets' water bowls (which poisons them). Luckily fairly rare.

IDK schools here seem pretty open to the elements too, compared to temperate climes. Perhaps the theory is that the air flow makes things cooler, except that doesn't work so well in the monsoon.

Oh my *flails* I LOVE Atlas moths. They aren't in Australia, sadly. (We do have giant stick insects though.) Here is a picture of an Atlas moth on my hand (I met it at a butterfly farm in Indonesia):

That is a gorgeous picture. Thank you for sharing!

Omg I can handle all the spider pictures upthread but that atlas moth made me hyperventilate for half a minute or so. D:

*deep breaths* *adblock* Yes that is a gorgeous moth and I wish I could appreciate it! D:
