Supervisor onsite ... look busy, quick !
Did it claim you could save up to 15% on your insurance in 15 minutes or less ... ?
... couldn't resist
Last October I had a gray slug with pinkish long oval stripe crawl onto my paintbrush on a patio. Completely freaked me out.
WAY back in 2010 was taking a break from stripping paint off my truck ... used L334 Glacier Blue ... and had a complete conversation with a mocking bird. We screeched at each other about 30mins. I probably insulted him/her & it mite have been encouraging or ridiculing me.
Nature rocks ! ... stay safe

Very cool.
We used to get birds fly into the big shop I used to work at. They would have a very hard time finding their way out, We would have to leave the roof hatch open and turn off the lights so the bird could see the way out. It was a 30 feet high bay shop, a few 100 feet long and about 80 feet wide. roll up door on one end.

Nice! I have had birds too but the most common visitor in the fall is garter snakes looking for a warm place to winter. Had a shrew once and mice of course but the cat takes care of those.

I got rats and snakes in mine -
I am still waiting to see a bullsnake show itself. It always leaves me a molt and I can tell how big he or she is getting. It is over 6-foot. |

Oh, cool! Spotted salamander.
Our Resident Dinosaur would emerge this time of year every year likely to lay eggs. Apparently Salamander Spring Break was in the sand near our workshop door.

We had rattlers when I was a kid. My brother and I could attend any tent revival anywhere with impunity.
Perhaps not the correct term. We're supposed to approach it with humility.
Biggest one I ever saw spanned all the way across the two rut road to our neighbor's farm. It was tryin' to swallow a toad, something you seldom see although they do it all the time.
We dropped rocks on the snake until it released the toad. The toad hopped away. Probably not politically correct to take sides but the statute has run out. The story can be told.
