WILD KINGDOM - FLORIDA Style!

by Robin


WARNING: Pictures of bugs & snakes ahead


While we mostly enjoy sea life in our area of the world, we have a yard full of interesting critters. I never walk into the yard without stepping slowly by known snake crossings.

I never walk into my shed without taking a peek before entering. I may find a new resident in there who's picked up on old chicken egg scent.

We keep snake ID books handy. You just never know when you may run into a Yellow Rat Snake or a Black racer. These next 2 photos are taken from an ID site (not mine). I confirmed that this is what is now living in my shed.

Creepy, huh?

Or open the garage door to wasps, black widows and Ox beetles crawling up the frame.

These are gentle giants, I think. See his cool Rhinoceros horn?

Who needs the zoo when I have a yard in Florida and a boat? I just hope that I never become part of the food chain.

Eben says, Why must Miss Robin take such yucky pictures? If the person is eating when they see them they will not eat anymore.


LOL!

He also wants to know if you have a special camera or do you get close to the yucky things.
