Well. I guess I am getting to know the local wildlife. Hooray. This lizard was found by Jason while he was raking the yard. It was a chilly day, and lizards being cold-blooded and all, well this guy wasn't going anywhere fast. He let us gawk at him and take pictures. We left him alone and didn't not alert Scarlet as to his whereabouts. He has since moved on. Smart lizard.
The next one is part of the local spider wildlife. He is a huntsman spider. Apparently they can grow to be the size of a human hand. Ick. He was on his last leg, so putting the quarter next to him was not much of a challenge. They are not terribly dangerous to people but I would still not like to run across a healthy one. He must have been picked off by some birds, because later in the day all I found were three of his legs. Some bird was well fed that day.
P.S. I let him have the quarter. Just in case.
