A Good Mowing Day...

[the_edsta]

There are always tons of critters living in the grass as I mow it... directly behind the house there is a zone of wolf spiders, then green tree frogs, and then leopard frogs down by the water; katydids, locusts, and grasshoppers along one side; a large female garter along the other; a black racer by the water spigot; and the front is filled with green and brown anoles, five lined skinks, and geckos in the evening. Well I stumbled into a new garter out front today -- I'm not sure if its a smaller female or a great big adult male: [IMGhttp://www.electronicsyllabus.com/pics/garter2.jpg[IMG] And a bit later I was back over by the front garden and found a tiny egg just hanging out, barely covered by dirt... my wife must have dug it up while she was planting there... Here it is next to a couple of corn eggs still incubating...
