More Wildlife…

The great thing about living out a bit is the creatures that crawl through the area. The jmonsters always have the nets on ready and love to put the creature ‘du jour in the bug box. This lizard was pretty docile, we are waiting for the first official bite, and then we’ll see who still [...]
