Mothra! and Iguana Jug Band!

Big Grasshopper Thing

Large Moth-y Creature: Eacles imperialis
Last night the air was close and heavy, and insects were everywhere. In the morning, the White Sign, aka Bug Board, was covered with various moths. Beautiful insects.

And tasty:


Iguanas gathered under the sign, climbed the sign, chased each other from this great food resource. Iguanas appear to be mighty good at reading social cues.

Kaplan on the dust pan, GWO on the broom. 
GWO has one refuge in a tree and another near the kitchen, just to the right of this stand. Visiting GWO was Kaplan, Romelia, and 3 other marked iguanas. A veritable club of lizards.

Hatchling C. similis getting on a fierce expression.
 The little lizard above has already made it across a field, a gravel road, up a hillside, and into the station. Let's hope this one survives and joins the great Palo Verde group.
