Last post for today. I didn't want you to think the yard was devoid of other types of critters besides insects.
Take a close look at this picture. Do you see one of my all-time favorite animals?
Yes? No? Maybe??? I'll give you a closer look...
If you've visited this blog before, you probably already guessed what was hiding in the tree. If you haven't stopped by before, then you might not be aware that I am ever-so-slightly obsessed with green treefrogs.
But this is an equal opportunity site -- here's another amphibian that we found this morning.
Right in the middle of the frame is an Eastern Narrow-mouthed Toad. He was hiding under a piece of lumber in the front garden. I love the sound these little guys make.
One last non-insect and then I'm done for the day.
Treebeard ran across this pretty little worm snake in the compost. I love these little snakes. It makes me smile whenever I see one.

I have yet to ever see a worm snake - but they are on my list of "must see someday" items. I wonder if they exist here in Michigan....
I want to see a smooth earth snake one of these days.
Wonderful herps Swampy!
Just delightful, Swampy!
I saw my first toad of 2012 last night, crawling up from under our porch. It made me feel good!
