Six-lined Racerunner
I've written about these lizards before and they are always popping up when I visit our paradise in the woods. It seems that each time they show up.....they taunt me. Yes that's right....they taunt me. I'll be sitting there minding my own business when one will literally run out from under the porch right in front of me. It will then gaze at me, come a little closer, and the act as if it is daring me to try and catch it. From experience I know that these particular lizards are as fast as hell and almost impossible to catch by hand, so I just sit and watch it, not taking its dare. One day though I'll catch one and when I do I'll laugh in its face.
