All I've seen is a green tree frog.

But I've got loads of the giant millipede things here too. They're weird. I also spotted the yearly swarm of southern lubber grasshoppers a week or so ago. Just an inch long right now. I see dozens about this time of year, then I'll spot one or two adults later in the summer. In between? No idea.

A couple of spiders around my yard

Thanks man! That's only the 2nd canebrake I've ever found. But a good friend of mine has already found 15 this year in the same area I found this one, so I'm hoping I find at least a couple more this season. You don't have any copperheads where you are?
