Saw this little baby on my car this morning. It did try to fly away after a bit but it wasn't too far - less than a couple feet.

Obviously it is a snake of some kind. I knew it wasn't venomous and initially thought it might have been dead till I saw the head move just a tad. Touched the end near the tail and it moved around the corner from near the door to a crack between the limestone wall and sidewalk. Didn't want anything to happen to it since so many people are scared of snakes. It was really beautiful.

Initially thought this was a spider because i saw the legs crawling over an edge but then realized it was this bug. Not a clue what it is. Saw it at Deep Wood and 620.

So I believe this is a stinkbug but not 100% sure. I see them periodically in my yard.

So I found this little guy in my backyard and was worried when I saw the ear. Not sure if this is an injury or birth defect. Other than being small it seemed to be in fairly good health, was eating and hopping around, and not nearly as skittish of humans as the other wild rabbits I've seen in my backyard.

Not sure what this bug is but I found it on my yellow bells (also known as esparanza) this week. When I took a closer look it seems like whatever it was had molted and left this shell/skin behind.

Saw this bird in the backyard. Right before it flew down to the feeder it was sitting on a branch and would peck at the wood. Not sure if it's a woodpecker or not because it didn't match any of the pictures I found online. Is it possibly a baby woodpecker?

Found this little guy hanging out in my gladiolas. The coloring in its antennas was really pretty. At first I thought it was a praying mantis but then I looked again and realized it wasn't.
