This is the first spring/summer that I have not seen a single little green lizard or house gecko around at all. Curious if others have noticed this too. I hope they haven't disappeared.

I got lots over here. New cats in your hood?

I've seen a couple but numbers definitely seem down. Hoping they start coming out soon.

My toad family that shows up in April started to make an appearance a couple weeks ago so maybe everything is pushed back.

I've seen a few geckos around the house.
With all this rain, I've seen a lot of frogs.

I've got the green lizards, but I hadn't notice the lack of geckos until now…

We have geckos and had a Texas spiny lizard on the back deck the other day.

A couple of years ago we notice several Green Anoles with sores on their side, discovered it was a parasite. We havent seen any more around the house since.

They are all in my yard. But where are the lighting bugs and horned toads?

They are still there. I hadn't noticed many geckos until I put a glue trap out for some mice in the garage. Caught a couple of massive geckos. So I took those all up and put down regular mouse traps.

A correction: I have seen a few of those big skinks around but nothing like I used to see.

After the May 16 flood, I found several dead lizards throughout the yard.
I have seen the green anoles in abundance, as well as the geckos (there are so many flies and skeeters to eat), but the skinks and racers are a lot less noticeable.
Walk softly and carry a big stick! Make sure the big stick makes big boom noises and flashy bright lights.

I've seen a ton of fireflies when I've walked around Brothers Pond and Hudson Trail. Haven't seen any horned toads in years and years. I wonder if the cottonmouth we found in our yard this week has anything to do with that...

We have more Texas Spiny Lizards than we have ever seen. Those suckers can get big too. We have a shortage of mockingbirds this year which doesn't really bother me. I have yet to take any bird damage on the tomatoes.
