And here’s the same lizard right near my toe, for comparison.

Yep. Tip of my sneaker. Baby lizards are tiny.

Mini Mushroom

So the lizard’s not the only mini-life in the yard. Mini-mushroom!

Mini Crustacea

And mini terrestrial crustacean!

…This has been a scheduled break from the news for the sake of everyone’s mental health. Because seriously, who wouldn’t rather watch pillbugs than the news, lately?

  1. Do you guys have those tiny little frogs that are small enough to sit on a dime and make it look like a lily pad?

    I admit, I shrieked like a fangirl the first time I saw one! SO CUTE!
