Young box turtle...always gets the best from our garden!


This little guy is an orphen that I adopted, willingly of course, and has his home in a 100 gallon container with soil and his own swimming pool with constantly refreshed water; a brick "lean-to" for a hide-a-way. He is so spoiled because he gets these gourmet foods!

Dinner tonight has been black fly larvae for the first course. Long horned grasshopper for the second...and escargot for dessert

  1. This looks just like the grasshopper from the hollyhock that Caidan named 'Bruno'. Must be a relative.

  2. There is one other critter that looks nearly identicle to the Long-horn grasshopper at first until you observe the head, the jaws, and an over-all tougher body and legs. This is probably one of the Katy-Dids (katy did, katy didn't) is the call of some of them like from home in Illinos. If it had been a long-horned grasshopper Caydan would have let you know in an instant! If they can grab ahold of a piece of finger it can be quite painful! THose big brown grasshoppers you find at least here in So. CA have but a nibble in comparison.
