Creatures

I like the little lizards around here. There are little green ones and little brown ones. The green ones like to climb on the firewood. Prairie calls the brown ones dinosaur lizards because they have giant back feet and they run on their hind legs. They have a wide black stripe on their head, and a bright yellow-green stripe down the length of their body.

When I sat down in the hammock earlier, I saw something move on the ground below me. It was a spider. A few moments later, I saw it again, and all of a sudden one of the dinosaur lizards darted out of nowhere, caught it, ate it, and scampered off again!

We also have a resident giant hairy tarantula in the house.

Isn't nature amazing?
