I know this is two "wildlife" posts in a row, but I still couldn't get over the humor in this event. I was taking some trash out to the garage on an evening of significant rainfall and almost stepped on this little thing that was scurrying around. Being from Texas, when I first caught a quick glance at this attacker I thought it was a scorpion and jumped back in haste. However, upon a closer look, it was merely a crawfish trying to find some peace from the days of rainfall and thought our home may do better than his creek.
I tried to make friends thinking that maybe some day I could convince his entire clan to stop digging their holes along our yard at the creek's edge, but he saw through the thinly-veiled attempt for friendship and immediately rose to "attack."
So I left him alone and opened a garage door so he could find his way out eventually - and have no visits from him or any others of his kind since. Now I need to dig around and find some photos and videos of the snakes that have come on our property - both big and small.
