Welcome to Catnapin's

Critter Gallery Index

 

These pages represent animals and insects that remained still long enough to be photographed by me. Most are from Taylor County, Texas, where I live.

I am not a biologist. Finding names for these critters is a quest in itself. Many are yet to be identify. To the best of my ability, the information given is correct. In the index below, I list critters by types.

If you wish to comment, correct, add to, or inform, I would be glad to hear from you.

Thanks for looking.
