These 4 Eastern Box Turtles were found within 25 feet of each other.
I have never seen that many at once.....hmmmmm.
Occasionally they will eat some strawberries and tomatoes from the garden
What are they doing?

They may be in mating mode or are sharing the location of your best eats. A few weeks ago I was digging in my front yard to repair a sprinkler head and found about 10 turtle eggs very freshly laid. They were about 10 inches deep and there was no clue above ground that they were there. I am about 500 ft away from a man made lake. The local herpetological people told me these are an invasive species and I should dispose of them.

I salt the yard with slices of watermelon and these endangered turtles cannot resist ..

Brown chikin brown cow..

Okay, I'm clueless. What is it? I'm getting used to lizards and frogs along with no seeums but that looks awful. (OT: Joy, joy! I have a little tree frog visiting me in Cocoa. He's not as green as Jack was; he's got more brown on him and he's bigger so I suspect he's older. But he sits on the railing at night in front of the apartment and seems to wait for me to notice him then he hops away. (Jack never did that; he posed for pictures happily!) I'm looking at a house by the side of the woods in the AM; if it works out, I will plant bananas in the yard and keep my fingers crossed Jack's buds come a courtin'.)

Phooey. They don't sting according to what I saw. We had things like that that built weird nests in our buildings in MD; they hurt nothing other than spiders. I realize my experience was up north but do I need to fear them now when living where it's hot?

The black one's sting, but the red one's are pretty passive unless your pissing in their wheaties.. :^)

She's the one eye, one eye Love.....

Note: This female turtle, more than likely has been injured by a lawnmower.
The shell has been split and has grown together nicely....
Special friend..

Must be a reason you chased it off. Is it a moth as it looks? and is it a type harful to your plants?

I think I will wait to trim this leaf.



Peucetia viridans (Green Lynx Spider) maybe?
◕Redish coloration indicate this is female.
◕Eye arrangement is fairly recognizable and hard to mistake.
◕They are covered in conspicuous black spines, and the femurs have many small black dots. In both genders, the legs are usually a translucent green color, with yellowish-orange rings at some of the joints.
◕This species has the ability to change colors based on habitat, so the legs may be translucent reddish-pink in some specimens.
◕This spider does not spin a web for prey capture. Instead, it sits and waits for prey to come nearby and then pounces on it with lightning speed and agility. It may also actively stalk its prey, running and jumping from branch to branch with ease, which is how it earned the nickname “lynx spider.” Though they do not use silk for webs, they do use it for drag lines and for creating their silken egg sacs.
