Thanks Daniele. I probably would love to be in Morocco. What was a thinking? I've corrected it. I couldn't get my I-pad to pull up the location when I posted it. Also, I believe the caterpillar is of an IO moth. I don't know if anyone else agrees.

Thanks Ignacio. I saw several listings of this species, but I didn't feel confident placing the species name on the site. I would rather rely on experts.

The lizard is really a Brown Anole. I didn't know we had any on campus, but now they seem to be everywhere. Google it to get the scientific name. (Anolis sp.) is all I can give you now.

Tracy we may have anotehr sighting of a Brown Anole. The diamond pattern on the back is found on females of this species. Check out suzannekconway's post. Now it's getting confusing.

You know I may change my mind on this one. Look at Tracy's post. Her's may be a female Brown Anole with a diamond back pattern. I hadn't really thought that we had an established population of this invasive species in the valley.

Anoles are change there coloration depending on the background. This one is obviously is reacting to either a brown or dark background.

I believe bayucca is right on.

Now by looking at it on the photograph here, it looks like a Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis).

Looks like a Bufo valliceps. The parotid glands don't look large enough to be marines, but it may be the photograph.

Several were in the irrigation canals parallel to FM 803 about a half a mile north of Highway 100 near Los Fresnos, Texas. Very interesting that you had such a nice size flock near San Benito.
