Below our windows, this Florida leopard frog was on the prowl for insect drawn by the lights. Darkness. Thunder. Lightning. Ferocious rain. Nervous dogs.

This anole, Anolis ferreus by name, […]

This is a very pretty male red-cheeked mud turtle. The turtles of the genus Kinosternon are distributed southward from extreme southern New York and North Carolina to northern Argentina.
