Where'd you take these? I live in south Florida and I haven't seen any gators (but then again the Everglades aren't that far...)

But hey, there's a park by my place that has a couple of crocodiles!







I took them while driving through Loop Road in Big Cypress. Lots of alligators along the side of the road, and the occasional black vulture and barred owl

Looks like an elephant Hawk-Moth. They have nectar sucking mouth parts, so I guess some honey might do? I dunno

It's a Cuban tree frog, an invasive species that eats natives.

A spider beetle. He is probably eating your stuff

Is this some sort of critter residue? There’s a lot of it and it always comes back in the same spot (right next to a wall) even after I clean it up



Dime for reference

its on an elevated shelf next to a wall, localized entirely in like a 1 foot area. mysterious

El Burbo
Oct 10, 2012

ok yeah, looks a lot like the google image results for termite poop and the fact that its in only one place might mean it's coming from a termite hole right above the shelf.

It’s easy to get close up photos if you have a jerk of a cat that constantly brings the poor guys into the house to harass them, and you have to carry em back out.
