Slug photographs

These are some photographs of slugs I took.  Slug are similar to snails except they do not have a hard shell.  Slugs must remain moist or they will die.  I took these macro photographs of slugs using a Canon 5D Mark II and a Sigma 180mm lens.  These Slug photographs are the only ones I have taken of this species.

Green Anole Lizard

These are some Green Anole macro photographs.  Green Anoles are common in the Southern United States.  These lizard can change color from light brown to bright green.  Green Anole hunt and eat insects.  These lizards are good at keeping pest away.  The lizards are shy and will attempt to run away.  If they are captured they will attempt to bite.  The bite is not serious but may draw blood.




These small lizards are native to the United States.  They can be found in the Eastern Texas to the East Coast.  Brown Anoles are invasive and were brought over by accident from Cuba.  Even though the Anole in these photographs is brown in color, it is a Green Anole that is currently in brown phase.
