You know, it's a jungle out there.  Even in our own backyard.  I found these guys making their homes in various parts of our yard over the years.  I'm sure you have similar creatures in yours as well.  We even had a 3 foot long brown snake crawl into our house using the line running from our air conditioner compressor to the air handling unit a couple of years ago.  He came into the house through the return vent and freaked Eileen and I out.  Eileen saw him first and I didn't believe her.  She screamed bloody murder the first time, but the second time I saw him too and shooed him out of the house, chopped his head off with a shovel and left him in the drainage ditch for the buzzards.  I should've gotten a picture of him.  Anyway, that's the critter story even if the ones pictured here aren't as imposing as a snake!

Hope you enjoy the shots and thanks for visiting!
