Scary Scarab...

This creature fell out of the ceiling of our mezzanine today! I had been hearing noises in the ceiling for the past couple of days and thought it was a mouse in the attic. I had told Lucian to go check it out on Sunday and he had put up traps, but I kept hearing noises all afternoon and it had started to drive me mad! I could hear it eating away at the ceiling's white polystyrene boards and it was scaring the heck out of me. Being by myself in the house, I got up on a chair and was banging the hell out of the ceiling with a ruler (funny scene) yelling at it hoping to scare it away but nothing was doing it. I summoned the courage to go up to the attic...didn't see anything there but i kept hearing the noise confirming it was trapped in the ceiling. At the end of my rope I called up my mom in tears asking what could i do, I was going crazy...finally i had decided to go back to the attic to finish it with the beast, when i saw little pieces of polystyrene on the floor and this black creature next to it. I raised my head and sure enough it had made a tiny hole up there...that was it!! a scarab bettle!... i really wonder how it got to my ceiling. It must have an even worst sense of direction that i do to mix up the fields for our ceiling:) pweh! what a scary experience and what a relief that was!
