Name This Animal

Lots of 'Name this critter'

21 years ago

Hi all. I've just been commissioned to do a website for my local petshop. Woo hoo. So I'll have access to many afterhours photo sessions with the critters. Would you all like to have me post them for a "Name this critter"? If so, I'll make the titles "What am I? #1" etc.

Webby, you can't answer first everytime, ok? :)

That would be fun. I'd enjoy it. Anybody else?

(Geez, I hope you're old enough to get that or it's going to sound really wierd... .)

Hmm! That's an interesting thought about the squirrels! That would seem to make sense, because it doesn't look like whatever is ravaging them even eats! Just chews up into piles. Here are some pictures of teethmarks.. I can't really tell? I'm a pretty novice gardener so I've got zero experience here! Any help is appreciated.

I agree that I wouldn't want it in my yard, either, just because it doesn't belong. As I said, I know it's not a good thing. But it is soooo pretty. Bluesky, it is a Knight Anole, an exotic becoming established in south Florida. Marcia

Tiger swallowtails and giant swallowtails have been flying here recently, and there do seem to be more Monarchs this year than the last couple years. Noticed some young promethea moth caterpillars on my tuliptree the other day.
