In the Garden of Five Surprises you will also find the yodelling stick insect.
When I read this for the first time, some four or five years ago, I thought it is some sort of mosquito that yodels before it bites you.
Well, it is an insect at least.
In "reality" it is an insect that is famous for its camouflage and which is simply able to yodel a little.
I imagine that it is really a surprise, when you find out where the yodeling comes from.
From all the surprises in the Garden it is my favorite one.
However, when you are occupied a lot with time theory, the yodelling of the stick insect can be very comforting, much more than its mere human Swiss or Tyrolian counterparts.
Humor is very important, especially in a world like this.
From now on, whenever I will read a newspaper, I will consider the fascinating ways of the yodelling stick insect, as a counterpart to death, torture, famine, terror and whatever you read about every day.
So be it.
