Only, you know, more stepped on.
If I recall my elementary school science classes correctly, aren't these little fellas highly toxic and rather unsuitable for pets? Any sort of dead wildlife would have been unexpected, this seemed particularly exotic; did lil' Darty make it all the way from the South American rain forests, only to get squished in Rego Park?
Then I found a hypodermic needle, and a rat propelling itself with only one leg, so it was sort of a day of discovery.
