Some of the snakes in my life. The first pic is of Lestat my ATB. I love his mean face. He isn’t much for handling but definitely one of my favourite babies. The second pic is a baby garter snake that got into the building at work last fall. I ...

This is Gumby. She’s my Madagascar Giant Day Gecko. She’s quite a character. We’ve bonded over many moments of stuck shed removals (some of these guys are prone to shedding problems despite all you do to keep the right humidity).

A new one for my lights last night: a predaceous diving beetle. This one didn't come in until around 3am, so I caught it for some pics this morning. I've frequently found the larvae of this species in shallow ponds and vernal pools, but I've rarely ...

As a mammal, I'm not sure this gal fits in here, but as a varmint I think she falls under the title of "much maligned", lol. Here's a cute little red squirrel mama having a black walnut for a snack. When she would hop from branch to branch it was ...

My favorite visitor to my night lights, so far tonight: the giant water bug. These are our largest North American Hemipterans and can deliver a painful puncture if handled carelessly. Nevertheless, they're nothing to be afraid of and they're super ...

My first night setting up the lights in 2018! I'm so excited about what tonight may bring. Probably nothing too exotic: early season moths and parasitic wasps, maybe some hoppers and flies. Now, I just have to be patient until dark...

This is Phidippus audax, commonly called the Bold Jumping Spider. They're a super common species, locally, but they always make me smile. Some of the larger females have an almost heart-shaped marking on their abdomen. This one looks vaguely like a...

You all are probably the only ones who would get why I was excited to see a red anole today. Lived in this area almost forty years and never seen one this color before. Googled it and found this post. I'm going back tomorrow to ...

She’s having a bad shed this time. Just took a violent swim in her water dish. She looks frustrated!
