Some kind of june-bug type creature. After I took this picture it flipped backwards, awkwardly, onto the ground.
A gecko Timothy discovered on the front of the house where we're staying! Super cute. Timothy pointed out that it's exactly the kind of gecko he wants to get someday.
A cute froggy.
A little green anole! At least, that's what I assume it is. Looks just like Isaiah's old Mr. Lizard. Except...I can't remember if Mr. Lizard had a neck thing that pops out? This one does. It's like a little flap that the lizard makes pop out (it's a reddish color) every once in a while.
Here he is again on the side of the tree.
A snail the boys found. Unfortunately it was too scared to come out.
This is just for the total gross out factor. We've found a few of these. Not including the antennae, they are most often about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long. YUCK! Thankfully the boys are willing to squish them, pick them up with toilet paper, and dispose of them down the toilet for me.
This little lizard (which also appears to be an anole, but I'm not as sure about it) is about 2" long and super cute! We discovered it yesterday on this grassy plant and found it hanging out there again today.

Lots of fun... pretty much split between cuteness and grossness. :o) Last night, I had a dragonfly drop on me... that was kind of creepy, as it was really huge, and it was doing some sort of dive bomb.
That's what I call a june bug.
Seriously though, that's why I didn't think that other bug was a June bug. That's what they look like in the South. It's the most common June bug in the June bug family (I didn't know there was a whole family two years ago): http://insects.tamu.edu/fieldguide/bimg139.html
