Fence Lizards Love to Warm ' Themselves in the Summer Sun

Fence Lizards Love to Warm Themselves in the Summer Sun shows readers a photo of an Eastern fence lizard that spends a lot of time sunning itself near the author/artist’s front gate. The lizard is often there to greet her in the afternoons after work.

Sunbathe For the past few years, every summer I have had a little fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) that suns itself on top of my fence in the late afternoon. If the sun is out, my lizard friend usually meets me when I get home from work. I’m not sure if it’s the same lizard each year or not, but each year it gets pretty used to my coming and going and let’s me get pretty close to it. I took…

The cat found a baby lizard in the house, so I caught them and released them outside. They weren't hurt thankfully, but from their size it seems like they hatched really recently. Here's to hoping they won't get stuck in the house again

#beastiebites #lizards #lizard photography #animals #cute lizard #Common name for this species in my area is the Texas Spiny #though ive seen them referred to as eastern fence lizards further up north #they can grow to be almost a foot long including the tail given the right conditions #catching the bigger ones is like trying to wrestle a small crocodile #they dont bite as often as anoles but when they do they Do Not Let Go Easy

[viatravelers]

You can find an eastern fence lizard throughout most of the southern United States and the west. But these creatures can also be found as far north as New York and Pennsylvania. It is a member of the spiny family and it is known for its rough scales. They are arboreal, which means that most of the time they can be found dwelling in trees. They can sometimes be found on the ground searching for food but if they think that a predator is approaching, they will retreat back to a tree to hide.

Eddie posts a Tiktok, talking about how Steve isn’t a big texter - he’s something worse, a caller - but when he does text Eddie, half the time it’s incomprehensible. The background of the video is a screenshot of a text conversation that starts with Steve sending Eddie a mermaid emoji. Eddie responds like, what does that mean???

Eddie gestures to where he blacked out the picture Steve sent him, “This is a picture of him in the bath. He wanted me to join him. How was I supposed to get that from a mermaid??”

Dustin stitches the video with a screenshot of a conversation he and Steve had a few weeks ago. Steve sent him a picture of a lizard one of his students found and asked, “Who is this?”

Dustin says in text and in the video that it’s ridiculous that Steve just assumes he knows the names of all the types of lizards out there. It’s also annoying because *Dustin moves to reveal the part of the conversation where he tells Steve that it’s an Eastern Fence Lizard* “I did actually know what kind of lizard it was.”

Dustin ignores the part of the conversation where Steve asks if it’d eat a cat.

Robin wordlessly stitches a screenshot of Steve asking, “What does it mean if a student called me based? Is that good?”

Mike stitches Eddie’s original video with a screenshot of his last text conversation with Steve where Steve says that he can’t do movie night. He’s having a Michael. Mike responded to this unprovoked attack like, “…Did you serious name your migraine after me?”

Will stitches his video and tells them to stop. Steve doesn’t have Tiktok and can’t defend himself. Meanwhile, his background is a screenshot of a text where Steve sent him one of those ‘I’m in your walls’ memes and says “You in 83. Lol.” He sends another text five minutes after saying, “Sorry if you’re still sensitive about that.”

#Mike’s name for Steve in his phone is ‘Nancy’s Ex’ #I think it’s funny if every time Eddie shares a screenshot of a text convo between him and Steve the bit of the conversation you can see #above is the most batshit insane thing you’ve ever seen #like the bit above the mermaid text is Eddie telling Steve that his doctor said that they could probably reconstruct the nipple he lost #to a demo-bat but it’s just Eddie saying ‘Would you like me better with two nipples?’ #steve harrington #eddie munson #eddie munson tiktok saga

My dear friend, the Eastern Fence Lizard, who ran into our garage and then pretended to be a mulch when I caught her. Very unappetizing 10/10

Florida’s Reptiles Love the Summer Weather

Florida‘a Reptiles Love the Summer Weather explains why the author is seeing more reptile and amphibian activity as summer approaches. It focuses on one Eastern fence lizard in particular.

Cautious Observation Last week I saw a couple people posting on social media about an unusually late winter storm that dropped a bunch of snow up in the northern United States. But down here in the south, summer has pretty much come to stay for awhile. Most days are in the upper 80s or lower 90s and even the nights are warm. With the warmer weather, we are seeing lots of reptiles out and about.…

LOOK AT THIS GUY

Can you spot him?

He's an eastern fence lizard!

We saw him scuttling along a log during fieldwork today. I had no idea that we had lizards this big in our area!

Went herping in the blue ridge mountains and found some lovely friends!

1 and 2: A lovely eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina) with bright orange patterns. In person it was nearly red! Likely an adult male, he was rather big and lively.

3: Another eastern box turtle, this one around the same size with light yellow patterns. Probably a female, and given the proximity to the male I'm hoping she's gravid since they're a vulnerable species. I didn't want to bother her much and kept my distance.

4 and 5: A small eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) was probably about a year old judging by the size. The cinder blocks also had a five-lined skink (Plestiodon fasciatus) with a missing tail and two broad-headed skinks (Plestiodon laticeps) who were fighting for territory. The skinks were way too fast to catch and I wasn't able to get food pictures of them. :(

6: There were hundreds, if not thousands, of baby salamanders. Possibly red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) because they're so tiny and not in a larval stage, although it's hard to tell with the dim lighting. I've also seen northern dusky salamanders (Desmognathus fuscus) in the area. The mountain spring was gorgeous and probably one of the cleanest water sources I've ever seen. You could drink right from the spring box, and the place I was staying was on the same aquifer.

Not pictured is a HUGE black racer (Coluber constrictor) that made a home in a collapsed shed. It was easily over six feet long and very handsome. I wish I had my phone when I saw it because it was gorgeous.

@immy-ooc @sins-of-the-sea (Yells at tumblr for not letting me tag your main blog)

'aight so, might as well do all of the Seven because I have So Many Thoughts about this.

Option A:

The Seven are Drowned. They exist solely in service to the Lord of the Whorl, Leviathan. Like any who has been claimed by primals, their loyalty to him is unwavering and knows no end. Their continued existence is only to strengthen their god and to summon him unto the world.

They work closely with the Sahagin and the Reavers - plundering supplies as they can, but naturally prioritizing capturing people to sacrifice to him and crystals with which to summon him.

Option B:

The Seven are just another pirate crew in Limsa Lominsa. On the surface, things seem perfectly legal - they have their privateering license and will gladly assure you that the wares they're trying to sell you was, in fact, stolen from a Garlean ship, thank you very much.

But any pirate crew knows how to manage their reputation, doesn't it? Keep a low profile. Stick to the code when you can so you don't draw the attention of the Rogue's Guild. You can get away with almost anything in a nation like this, can't you?

The Crew:

Captain Josep Frascona Race: Midlander Hyur Nationality: Lominsan Classes: Marauder>Warrior, Rogue>Ninja

Marauder and Rogue are both classes that start in Limsa Lominsa - both with a long history connected to piracy, making them easy choices.

Marauders have long had places on ships, their greataxes useful for both combat and felling the masts of other ships. And, as he is the Sin of Wrath... the Job upgrade into Warrior makes sense. He can have a bit of berserker rage, as a treat.

The Rogues are a covert group who serves to enforce the Pirate Code and police the city-state under cover of darkness. So Josep's canon shadowy stealth skills from his fog form can be translated into him having learned from them. I see the Ninja upgrade as something he picks up during a trip to the Far East - noticing similarities in the fighting styles and adapting it into his own.

Abena Frascona

Race: Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te Nationality: Ul'dahn Classes: Musketeer (non-playable), Machinist, Alchemist

Musketeer was a planned musket-wielding class that never got added (but there's still references to it in game so it exists it just can't be you).

Machinist, added in the Heavensward expansion, however, is a gun wielding Job... and the poor guildmaster will hand out guns like candy trying to convince people they're viable weapons.

Alchemist is a crafting class... that I really don't think I have to explain, let Abena make fucked up little potions to her heart's content.

Rashid al-Qadar

Race: Hellsguard Roegadyn (listen. him big i don't make the rules) Nationality: Thavnairian Classes: Gladiator>Paladin, Arcanist>Summoner

Paladin is your classic sword/shield class. And I know this is absolutely a case of me projecting here but I feel like that suits him somehow.

I choose Arcanist because, well. His ability to summon simulacra in canon I feel translates fairly well to the summoning of carbuncles and egis.

Wang Ruixiong

Race: Raen Au Ra (he's a lizard now sorry i just like the scaley guys) Nationality: Doman Classes: Pugilist>Monk, Lancer>Dragoon

"Adept at martial arts" his bio says. Say no more! I give him the power of punch real good. Open your chakras.

Okay so Lancer is a more strenuous one and I'm putting it on the list because of one glamour item you can get: the Eastern Journey Staff. Become fantasy Sun Wukong.

Guy Duchamp

Race: Woodwight Elezen Nationality: (New) Sharlayan Classes: Thaumaturge/Black Mage, Red Mage, Weaver

GG ez, give the guy with fire powers the class/Job with fire spells. Black Mage is an obvious choice.

Red Mage, as in many Final Fantasy games, is a combination of Black and White Magics... but also they fence. He's got magic. He's got a sword. He'll do a fancy french backflip and you'll like it.

It's hard to give some of these guys crafting/gathering classes but... I dunno, maybe the fashionable man knows how to keep his clothes looking good even after so long at sea.

Phoebus Duchamp

Race: Woodwight Elezen Nationality: (New) Sharlayan Classes: Arcanist>Scholar, Carpenter, Botanist

Okay so, like Rashid, it's a case of "give the guy with summons a summoning class" but Phi goes into Scholar because he's assigned healer of the crew. And tbh I feel like nothing says Sloth quite like summoning a fairy to heal your friends instead of doing it yourself. That MP is better used elsewhere he promises.

Botanist is another easy one. Phi has gardening knowledge? He can grow and harvest plants for Gio and Abi.

Carpenter... I just picked that cause it felt the closest to sculpture to me, I mean wood carving is a thing. Plus having someone who knows how to work with wood on your Pirate crew is useful so like. Bonus points.

Giovanni Vespucci

Race: Midlander Hyur Nationality: Ishgardian Classes: Archer>Bard, Pugilist>Monk, Culinarian

Gio's good with music... so let him use the music. Inspire your allies! Buff your friends! Rain arrows on your opponents!

I've kinda been avoiding duplicate classes where I can but Rui teaching Gio is a sweet enough idea that I'll allow it. He's obviously not as high leveled in it as Rui is though.

Culinarian... listen that's the "cooking" crafting class I literally do not need to justify any further. He would weaponize his frying pan like Julyan Manderville if you commit enough food crimes though.

Eastern Lubber Grasshopper

This is my baby, the eastern lubber grasshopper. Their scientific name is romalea microptera though their common names are quite interesting too. In the black adult colour phase, they are widely known as black diablo and in Louisiana, they are known as the devils horse. Colloquially they are also sometimes known as the graveyard grasshopper.

The name I know it by, the eastern lubber grasshopper, is due to its clumsy and slow movement. It mostly travels by walking feebly, linking to 'lubber' which which is derived from an old English word 'lobre' meaning lazy or clumsy. In modern times, it is normally only used by seafarers, who call people inexperienced on boats 'landlubbers'.

It has several defense strategies, the first being its brightly coloured pattern that varies from pale yellow to orange with black spots to black with yellow detailing, which warns predators that its emits a foul-smelling gas from its thorax when disturbed. It also lets off a loud hissing sound.

The eastern lubber grasshoppers only natural predator is the loggerhead shrike, a nasty cruel bird that decapitates them and then impales their carcasses on thorns or barbed wire fences so the sun can bake out the toxins before mealtime. I would love to decapitate a loggerhead shrike and impale its carcass, however unlike a loggerhead shrike, I have dignity and a merciful nature.

There are some lovely animals which prey on the loggerhead shrike for me : snakes who will attack them and eat their eggs, crows and magpies, larger birds generally and domestic cats who kill billions of shrike a year. Good kitties.

The loggerhead shrike cruelly breaks the neck of mice and brutally slaughters frogs, lizards, beetles and crickets. Shrikes grasp mice by the neck with their pointed beak, pinch the spinal chord to induce paralysis and then vigorously shake their prey with enough force to break its neck. They are sometimes known as 'butcherbirds' due to their violent nature. Fortunately, the loggerhead population has declined by more than 80% since the 1960s, possibly due to pesticides killing their insect prey.

On that note, as much as I adore lubber grasshoppers, they are garden pests. Although they can defoliate entire plants, more typically, they defoliate only regions of plants, eating holes or portions of leaves instead of stripping them bare. Because of this behaviour, lubber grasshoppers can be pests of ornamental or vegetable gardens, especially when they gather together. What can I say, my babies have slightly mischievous tendencies to ruin gardens.

Unfortunately eastern lubber grasshoppers are often seen in biology classrooms for dissection due to being big bois as they grow up to 3 inches which is larger than other grasshoppers.

Also, grasshoppers are just so cool. Grasshoppers are among what is possibly the most ancient living group of chewing herbivorous insects, dating back to the early Triassic period around 250 million years ago. They can also jump 20 times the length of their own body. Strangely, their auditory organs are found on their abdomen rather than their head.
