This week I'm sharing a few photos of the smaller living things
that shared our porch and yard during summer...

| Lizard displaying his dewlap and bobbing up and down...either he was trying to catch the attention of a female or he was trying to intimidate trespassers |
 |
| This one usually hid in my spider plant |
 |
| Did you know that lizards like grape jelly? I didn't know either- until I saw this one lapping it up |
 |
| I had put out the grape jelly to draw in the yellow jackets- this helped keep them away from the hummingbird feeders. |
 |
| Walking sticks are so strange. Plain-out weird-looking. This is one of only two I've seen this year. |
 |
| I almost sat down on this fuzzy little cutie that trespassed upon my lawn chair. Does anyone know what species of caterpillar this is? Update: This is a Banded Tussock Moth caterpillar- thanks to Theresa at Run-Around Ranch for her help in identifying it :) |
 |
| I still see you! A couple of grasshoppers tried to camouflage themselves in the green foliage of a nearby field. |
I hope everyone is having a great weekend thus far.
Thank you for dropping in!

ReplyDeletelove the anole. i like the walking sticks that show up here. so odd!
ReplyDeletethat might be a banded tussock moth caterpillar. :)
That caterpillar is fascinating! Nice grape jelly trick but did it still keep them out of the hummer feeders? One summer I had a swarm of honeybees in my yard. They stayed for almost the whole summer, and even though I put out a dish of sugar water just for them, they still covered the hummingbird feeders so completely I had to quit filling those feeders. I quit doing anything at all until they moved on. And, by the way, those bee guards didn't work! They would push past the guards into the feeders and drown themselves in the nectar. Since I worry about bee populations, I also removed those feeders so they'd quit killing themselves! Wasps would be a little different, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteLove that cute little lizard!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots - cute lizard!
ReplyDeleteThe walking stick looks like a piece of fuzz. How weird!
