A Lizard Again

Well, finally! I haven’t seen an Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus) in eons. The last photo I have of one is from September of 2015.

I’ve been wondering where they’ve been. What they’re up to. That top photo is the one I saw yesterday morning. A little one. About 4 inches long. They range in size from 4 inches to 7.25 inches. This photo, immediately above, a larger Fence Lizard, is from June of 2012.

Fence Lizards are arboreal creatures that eat insects, spiders, and many other invertebrates.

The little one that I saw yesterday morning didn’t seem to be in the mood for conversation, so I didn’t find out what it and its friends have been up to, but it was super to see one again.

A Lizard At The Cabin

Eastern Fence Lizard (Sceloporus undulatus). I’m always pleased when I find one of these medium sized (4 to 7 inches long) lizards checking out things here at my cabin.

They’re native to the eastern United States and prefer woodland edges, rock piles, and rotting logs.

They eat beetles, ants, moths, grasshoppers, spiders, and stink bugs. Yes, they eat stink bugs! Oh how I wish there were more of these lizards out there. There are enough Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (Halyomorpha halys) here to feed them for a LONG time.
