Last week I mentioned that we had a little visitor to our garden. It was a small lizard.
Sometimes we forget that there is a good side to having the little creepy, slithering visitors.
Our garden has a small pond, but the fish there eat the mosquito eggs. There are still a large number of mosquitos because our neighbour’s yard is a very traditional Japanese garden and a good place for those baby mosquitos to grow up, and then come visit me!!
We have a lot of birds who visit our garden, too, and they help take care of the bugs some.
Anyway, this little fellow is pretty common in our area and likes to eat grasshoppers who like to eat the leaves of my wife’s favourite flowers.
