They were on the inside. We seem to be having a lizard population explosion this spring. My non-scientific theory is that the warm winter (we never got a freeze at the beach), and early spring (hello - 90 in early April?) has the lizards reproduction in hyperdrive. The babies, which are usually only an inch long this time of year, are already 2 inches and some of them longer.

It's not unusaual to have lizards on the outside my kitchen screen - that wall gets the afternoon sun, so there are sometimes a dozen or more running around on it. But usually only one or two a season find their way through the tiny gap at the top to the inside.

Guess that picture is saying something else to me...

4 - It's time to get a new kitchen screen.
