Do you see this?
Or this?
For at least 5 years of my life I would wake up in the morning to the sounds of the forest because my bed was only a few meters away from it. It's not like the forest was always outside my bedroom window because about 30 years ago it was actually a watermelon farm. For whatever reason, the farm was abandoned and the forest came back (because it was forest before the farm). So I can claim that I grew up with a forest! (that sounds so dramatic).
Since the house is very close to the forest, some of the forest denizens do come to visit, some like the long-tailed macaques do so more regularly than others like this scarab beetle.
