In Our Own Backyard

Florida has so many interesting critters. A trip around the backyard will uncover things that you may have never heard of before entering the E Z Lab. I am know as the bug lady because I keep specimens of these wonderful creatures for my students to look at and study. Sometimes a little creature will show up alive! We study these little fellows and then they are released back into the wild. This page is a collection of creatures who have visited the Lab. Maybe you have wondered what they are. Most are not dangerous, but some can bite! Please show them some respect. They cannot speak our language and as scary as some of them look, we are far more dangerous to them than they are to us.
