Southern bugs and slugs and such

Before moving to the south, lots of people suggested that we'd run into various bugs of sizes and shapes. There is one particular bug, the palmetto bug, that we could not post a pic of. This sort (you can look it up on the internet) has caused great sorts of PTSD in our home, so we cannot keep an image of it. The other bugs are not so bad. Here is our list. Some are not bugs, but they are still pretty cool.

A lovely horse fly. It bites.

Probably one of our frogs that we let go of.

He's not a bug. He's a swallow that decided to make our home his residence until he found himself a mate. We named him Ralph.

Slug going across the driveway.

Scallop (when we visited Florida)

Jelly fish (again, Florida)

Birdie eggs in our trees.

Shiny beetle that got gonked by the lawnmower.

Kermit on our garage panel

Freshly molted cicada

Lizard that had rainbow colors on his tail. Can't tell from the pic, though

Shiny grasshopper on our wall.
