Canis familiaris
My companion, assistant, and guardian agaist elderly people walking past our yard.
Peromyscus maniculatus
Coturnix japonica
These are "My Birds". Forty coturnix quail (plus or minus) that live in an aviary next to the garage.
Tamias striatus
Lepus sylvaticus
So cute but I've had a lot of them this year and they do destroy some of the things I grow.
Dryophytes versicolor
Forficula auricularia
The earwig. Invasive from Europe. Gross looking but harmess but to cause damage to plants.
Plathemis lydia
Carassius auratus
Pyralis Farinalis
Each species is a masterpiece, a creation assembled with extreme care and genius.
