Curly Tail Lizard are native to Bahamas and are invasive species in Florida. As their name suggest, they curl and uncurl their tail to terrorize their prey or during fights with other males to attract females.

Junonia, a prized find in the shelling community. They rarely wash up on the beach because of their deep water habitat. A bit worn down from the journey to shore but still a keeper 😉

Have you ever seen a pulsing droplet?
It’s actually a Sea Gooseberry, a type of comb jelly. Don’t worry, they do not sting 😅

Found these lovely Cloudy Periwinkle at deserted Kice Island. They live above high tide line on dead tree trunks and branches. Even though they are marine gastropods, besides females returning to seawater to lay eggs, their existence is terrestrial.

Update to our Garter Snake rescue: Picture on the left three days later, the tongue has gone back inside. The right picture is when we first found him.

26/07/2021

Found this little Garter Snake in the middle of the road. He seemed a bit beat up, tongue hanging out and eye a bit enlarged. Took him home, hopefully can nurse him back to health before releasing back to the wild.

This very hungry caterpillar...is a Black Swallowtail, seen here chomping down on parsley, it’s favorite food. If distrurbed, “horns” or osmeterium will pop out of its head letting out a foul smell to ward of predators. Catch a glimpse of it at https://youtu.be/4tsazP6EHr4

Spotted Orb Weaver Spiders are mostly nocturnal as juveniles but come fall when they reach maturity you can spot large females like this one up to 19.7mm around man made structures. They have a cool marking on their belly, watch for it in the video.
