First snake I've seen in my house. It came in through the screen door, probably to escape the heat. We tried to catch it, but it escaped outside where we couldn't grab it.
I've been collecting dead invertebrates to look at later, one day I found a ladybug half dead with no apparent cause of death. Roughly a day later, it exploded with a fuzzy white fungus tent. I decided to leave it to see what would happen. A day or so later, the spider had some fungus on it, but a different kind or stage? I left them for a few weeks and here's the results. Anyone know what kind(s) of fungus this is? Entomophthorales?
Very loud.

Finally caught it! Released after photos were taken.
Uncaring, used to people.
Pt. 1 of putting hats on creatures that will let me...
Found in my yard.
Someone found this lizard in their car. I grabbed the lizard and put it in a box. Both stubborn and stressed, I had trouble moving it because it wouldn't let go of the box. After I got it out, it darted off. My yard isn't completely dirt, it'll have plenty of choices! Bright blue sides!
They sure live up to their name, after seeing me from a distance it darted away quickly. Last picture shows just how long it was.
