And I’m pretty sure this is a long-billed curlew…because just look at that thing. It’d be like if humans walked around with 5-foot straws for mouths. There’s also some sandpipers in the background.
Not a reptile but still in the underrated critter category? I saw this little cutie on the grill today. We are in tent caterpillar season in GA and I always love seeing the brilliant colors on these guys.
Very cool! Normally we start getting a bunch of the fluffy black ones around this time of year, but I haven’t seen any yet this year.
I did find this moth at work a while back. The camera does not do the colour justice, this thing was BRIGHT mint green, like a carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I’ve found other moths like that, but they usually have a grey to tan base colour. Still very beautiful, I love their patterning, but the mint green one was wild. I figure it must be some sort of random colour mutation. If it was captive bred, we’d call it a morph.
I am so jealous of you right now @logar! . It looks like you are having a “wild” time with all of the cool lizards all around! Have you been eating lots of seafood? Really appreciate the pictures as well!!!
