Good afternoon everyone! It's a great Saturday for me- I'm off work! Yipeeee! I did do some sweaty yard work this morning- pulling and digging up weeds from my flower beds, but after a nice shower, I'm taking it easy for a little while. My oldest grandsons are visiting this weekend and my husband cooked a fantastic meal, so I'm a clean, fat and happy grandma right now ;)
I hope your weekend is going well. Today I'm sharing a few critters that hang around my back porch-
 |
| Southeastern Five-lined Skink- I used to think these were called Salamanders, but I'm not sure why |
 |
| Cute little frog- not sure of his biological name, just a green frog to me |
 |
| I love tiny frogs! |
 |
| This lizard surely appears to be at peace in his surroundings- zzzzzzzzzzzz |
 |
| An itsy-bitsy spider dangling from the tin roof |
 |
| Closer view of the itsy-bitsy spider- can anyone identify it? |
 |
| A carpenter bee bore a perfect round hole in one of my porch beams. |
I knew nothing about carpenter bees until I saw them drilling holes in my porch beams. During some research, I learned the difference between bumble bees and carpenter bees- most importantly, one will destroy your home while the other one watches. We plan to seal the holes and put a finish on the porch wood soon (we just built the porch about 6 to 7 months ago).
Thank you for visiting!
I love the skink , the lizard and the cute frog. Spiders and bees I can tolerate. But, not drilling holes into your porch, that is awful. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the skink!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the skink, the frog and the lizard. I think they're cute.
ReplyDeletewow...with all of our termites...I'm sure glad we don't have carpenter bees! Never knew of such a thing. Darn buggers.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI'm Suzan also :-}}
Great Macro shots --- so good that I really wanted to get a fly swatter and get that wood bee drilling a hole in your porch beams!! I tried to "follow" you, but blogger won't let me at the moment!! Will try later!

I love little frogs, too! Looks like it might be a tree frog, but not too sure. The skink is beautiful, especially with that blue tail. Dang, I didn't know Carpenter Bees could do that sort of damage. Lots of lively action around your house, though! And great pics!!!
