Same as posted but could not figure out how to add this photo to a post. Zoomed way in on them they appear to by nymphs and would really like to know what, at least to family. About 1 mm long, in huge numbers and all traveling fast in one direction.

Prairie Lizard (Sceloporus consobrinus)Observer
ksaucierDescription
This one has less markings on the back but blue and black markings down the sides and under the throat. Couldn't find info on male vs female or various posturing. If you have links please share as i would like to know more about their rituals. This one only did the pumping of the front end and ran normal.
