I was glad I caught some of these tropical critters on my trip.  I took videos where I thought it would be interesting; I had them zoomed in all the way and didn't use a tripod, so they get shakey at points.

Enjoy!

This guy lives in a pond at Fairchild:

From the swamps along I-75. I don't know what they're called, but driving along the highway, I noticed many of them assume this position...

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Haha, Bill.  I'm afraid you'll have to make a trip out there yourself to see that kind of fauna in person.  

Yes.  Lots of Copernicia Bailyana shots.  Probably over 50.  My Fairchild thread is going to take a while to organize and set up, since I probably have about 1000 photos from there alone.  

Did the videos work for everyone?
