And just for fun...here's one of my infamous "potted plant toads". The toads here tend to bury themselves in the dirt during the day, and then at night they like to sit in the gutters or on our concrete driveway. For some reason, they tend to bury themselves in my potted plants, and I can't tell you how many times they have scared the life out of me by jumping out when I was working on the plant. This one jumped out of my pawpaw seedling. I'm glad to see them as they had been MIA for a while. I blame the invasive Cuban frogs; since I've started methodically killing them, my native toads and green anoles have really rebounded. I also found one on the patio this morning, and even though I don't like touching animals and things, I put on my garden glove and gently relocated him to outside the patio. I'm getting better about my fear of amphibians and insects. Still won't touch the caterpillars though.
