awww. Beardies are so cute. No lizards in New England I'm afraid.

Cool looking critter! Nice catch.

Nice! Love creature shots and these are cool. :)

Thanks all.

He was cute ... only about 10 inches long. I'll have to watch for him when I mow the lawn this weekend ... I'd like him to STAY 10 inches long a bit longer yet.

What a cute little visitor! ... My fingers are crossed for the little fellow :)

He'll be right ... I don't kill our wildlife :)

I know you wouldn't do that. Once my husband accidentally hit a huge toad under a bush and we both felt awful for days.

awww he's so cute!!

They have kill a toad days over here! Cane Toads are an introduced pest that kills native frogs in huge numbers.

this was a native. just a harmless bufo bufo. sort of medium brown. I still feel bad about it and it's been years. then again, I take worms out of puddles when it rains a lot so I'm kind of a softie.

I hold their heads under until they stop kicking ;)

{Kicks MA in the shins} Worm solidarity! We will never give up!

:) It was worth it!

Great captures, MA. I would love to have one as a pet :)

Thanks Gem. They don't make much of a pet though ... they just kinda lay around eating insects :)

I like the first shot best, MA - it's a very cute wildlife in your garden.

Thank you MM :)

"I Fish ... Therefore I Worm"

We have some pretty big worms over here too. Our giant forest worms are something else!!!

Perhaps the largest overall known species is the giant Gippsland earthworm (Megascolides australis) ~ seen above, which is found only in the Bass River valley of South Gippsland in Victoria, Australia. These huge worms regularly reach sizes of 3 meters (10 feet), and the longest specimen on record was measured at 4 meters (14 feet) long. These rare earthworms are so large that it is possible to hear the gurgling sound of their movement through the earth when they are disturbed.

well that one I may leave in the puddle!!! my god! :eek:

that would have to be one hell of a puddle.
