Yesterday was collection day for two ground dwelling trap locations and we were surprised to see these two guys trapped. I would have thought the lizards feet would be able to grasp the plastic but the solo cups are obviously a lot more slippery than I would have guessed! Anyway….I wondered if they snacked on whatever insects had been trapped 🙂
Because of the still very cold evenings, we haven’t collected anything really interesting yet. Mostly ants, small spiders and some teeny tiny insects that only a microscope can help identify. I’m looking forward to what shows up when the heat brings them out at night! To see more photos from our surveys, click on the CITIZEN SCIENTIST tab above.
