Death in Paradise star Ralf Little has shared a video of the "surprise guests" on set of the BBC detective series.
Filming is currently underway in Guadeloupe for season 13, with the actor sharing a behind-the-scenes clip revealing some of the creepy crawlies who live in DI Parker's shack.
"So we've just moved a bit of furniture in the shack," he says in the video, zooming in on a massive swarm of ants in the corner of a room.
Turning the camera round to himself, he added: "That's why I don't stay here."

Little then asked fans if they would brave a night sleeping in the shack, writing in the caption: "Surprise guests in the shack! Would you still want to spend a night here?"
What to Read Next
Most of the actor's followers were in agreement, commenting that the bugs were enough to put them off. "Oh man, I bet there are some serious bugs on that island!!!" one follower said, while another simply added: "Hard pass."
A third person noted that the crew needed some help from DI Parker's pet lizard, writing "Where’s Harry when you need him?"
Little has been sharing plenty of filming updates from the series on his social media, leaving fans speculating about upcoming storylines after he posted a clip of himself inside a prison cell.

The actor also touched on the prospect of future crossover episodes or spin-offs, revealing that he would love to team up with Kris Marshall and Sally Bretton.
"There's a bit of a joke among us that like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that there is a Death in Paradise Cinematic Universe," he said in an Instagram Q&A.
"Maybe there's going to be Death in the States, or Death in the Maldives."
Death in Paradise and its spin-off, Beyond Paradise, air on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer.
