I agree with you, Robert. It’s fantastic to have the wild animals come visit. My parents did that for years in Arizona. They had pheasant families, lizards, javelinas, even a bobcat.

When I was 10 years old I sued to catch lizards and thought it was cool. years later I used to keep some in a terrarium with meal worms, a hot rock, etc…
It never seemed right to me.
In ’05 I experimented with the local lizards to see if I could entice them to eat meal worms from my hand or fingers.
Needless to say it worked and now my patio is a hot bed of activity.
These animals have some sort of communication, because they all know where to come.
It’s 100 times more satisfying to have them come to you on their own than ever catching them.
They’ll climb up on my shoes or line up to be fed. Oh yeah, I have the pics to prove it.

“Training your eye” results in a “search image.” Hey, I want equal time, actually equal space, for spider photos.

Terry, we would have done exactly that had Ty not been so strict. I even had my portable BBQ with me, along with high hope.

Nice! But why didn’t you BBQ a bunch of them and have them in toasted bread rolls smeared with tomato, garlic, and olive oil?
