3. She's currently sunning herself on the back deck.

I'll tell her you said 'Hi'.

I love anoles.

5. Love them all, especially Flossie! Thanks.

And appreciate your naming them, it's been years since my college Entomology class.

7. I figure I might as well know what I'm taking a photo of, so it is for me mostly. :)

I like 'bugs', so I'm learning more about them in the process.

Thanks!

12. Thanks! I love anoles. Flossy has been with us since about March.

We keep expecting her to move on but she hasn't yet.

And apparently Flossy realizes s/he's found a really great home...

11. BUGZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!

ok, ok, I know they're not true bugs, but jumping up and down squealing, "INSECTS!" doesn't really work.

[Solly Mack]

14. I love bugs. They must love me as well. I've got all kinds of bites. :)
