Today's sighting. What's with reptiles and asphalt? smh This black rat snake fled off of the road when I approached; so I didn't get a chance to pet him.

My Argentinian black-and-white Tegu is just coming out of her first brumation. I named her Pandora. She is not named after the music streaming Pandora. Anybody know what she is named after?

My 9yo son is a master anole wrangler. He has discovered that if you put them on their backs they seem to have a tonic reflex and they become calm and docile.

I had some fun trying to photograph Alypia octomaculata, the 8 spotted forester moth. This is a striking, day-flying moth whose larvae feed on Vitaceae plants. Unfortunately, I didn't get a decent shot with the hindwings exposed so you can only see...

I made a new friend today. He was the most mellow black rat snake I've encountered, and they are a very mellow species. I walked up on him slowly and scooped him up. He made no effort to strike or escape. He did however land a stinging tail slap, but...

This was in 2013. I found this little guy in Deer Creek Canyon, between Santa Fe and Glorieta, NM. I believe it was my first skink spotting.

Anyone familiar with horsehair worms? Just saw this on my sister's patio. I foolishly picked it up before taking pictures, but the whole reason I saw it was because it was waving the yellow end around in the air. I should have taken a picture of ...

Some of the Attacus atlas larvae I'm raising, indoors, on Syringa (lilac). The last pic is one I found online. This is what my caterpillars will become as adults.
