Butterfly and Wildlife Gardening And Photography In Houston Texas
Category Archives: Lizard First we had the pictures of the Green Anoles mating, and now we have a massive fight between two of the males. They were literally fighting for over 2 hours. I don’t know if they fight until the death, but these two were definitely at war. One of the Anoles was a bit smaller, but…  Leecy spotted these two going at it in the garden. The female doesn’t look all that thrilled, but what do I know. Here’s a video.  I have some pictures of Eastern Black Swallowtails that I wanted to share. Before I get to that, I wanted to share some information and see if others might have noticed the same thing. We’ve had quite a few eggs and Caterpillars from the Eastern Black Swallowtail, but just as the Caterpillars get to be…  I was out watering the plants early this morning and it turns out, not only were the plants enjoying the water. At first I didn’t even see this Lizard, but then I saw the scurrying up the branch and there it was. It didn’t even mind getting a little wet in the process.  While taking pictures of a few Monarchs, Leecy spotted this Lizard peeking through some leaves.  It’s been raining here constantly so the wildlife has been essentially staying covered. Today, finally, in the late afternoon, the sun finally broke through all the clouds. For the critters that depend on a little warmth to get moving, they took advantage of the sunshine. One such critter was this Lizard (Anole). He started off…  I’m going to attempt to present these pictures as I saw them so you can get a feel for how I went on this little field trip today. I’m walking down the trail to the Wildflower field and noticed this large, green Spider. On closer inspection I could see this Spider was eating some type… I’ve got an interesting picture for y’all. In the early summer we had lots of little Lizards (Anoles). Now it seems as most of those Lizards have grown up and become big and fat. Check out these photos of a Lizard stalking some prey. Hmm, possible dinner? Guess this wasp won’t become dinner tonight. This is one of the adults roaming around the garden. We also have lots of baby Lizards roaming around.  Another early morning visitor. This was a very small lizard hunting for food on the Parsley. There was an equally small lizard close by this one but he scampered away before I could get a picture.  Check out this little guy. He was actually in the Butterfly Enclosure and I have no idea how he got in there. I say “he” but “he” could be a “she” for all I can tell. He/she was no bigger than my little finger, if that big. We released him in the garden to munch… |
