Yeh, it's a thing. A night, you hear them. You can hear them during the day and with the light on, but you can see them, so you know what is causing the noise. But at night with your eyes closed, you just hear their feet running across the plasterboard.
So you get up and turn the light on.. And... Nothing. You can't see them, they hide too well, in your curtains, in your bedsheets. In nature they hide under the bark of gum trees, so love to find perfect hiding spots to hide their massive bodies. Behind a clock, behind a lamp... in a book. In cars, under your sun visor or in your door handle.
So you get back into bed... And then here the patter of not so tiny feet. They are big and fast... They can run in to the other side of the room in about 1 second. 5 meters per second.. They don't build webs, they run their prey down, like a cheetah. They eat cockroaches, so imagine something big enough and fast enough to run down a cockroach.
Now imagine its hot. Hotter and humid than you have ever been.. 110F and 80% humidity.. at night. No A.C.. And a couple of these guys chasing bugs in your bedroom. Your 5 years old.. Life is different....
