We have at least one of those lizards in the back yard, I think living in the yard drains. Took me a long time to figure out what was knocking the drain covers off from the inside, until I caught one of those big buggers sunning himself near the pool one day.

Mostly we see the smaller alligator lizards though, by the dozens.

I think they were doing it.

I am by no means a photographer, but have some critters you might have not seen before.

Delhezi bichir.

Teugelsi bichir (relatively new to science)

Another delhezi

Wild dog from south korea, jindo island

African tiger fish, well respected in Africa as they can take a softball size chunk of your flesh in an instant

That's because they can grow up to look like this:

Luckily for me, it'll take 20+ years to get that big! Probably much much longer.

Here's some pics of a Cecropia moth I found inside the hose holder on the side of my house that had just hatched out of its cocoon (as seen behind the moth in the last two pics). I was pretty damn lucky to have seen this. There are entomologists who live their entire lives to never see what I saw that day. This thing was the size of my hand.

Came across this little critter, a Sierran Treefrog (Pseudacris sierra), while Kayaking.
