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.

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?
