beans, lizard, frog

Picked more purple pole beans. Enough for everyone as side dish this time. So that's one thing in my garden actually doing better this year!

When I was on my way out the back door to pick them- startled this little skink on the deck.

Tried for a closer photo-

and it skittered behind some pots.

Even better, when I was out behind the pole beans, I found this little guy among the leaves-

Not sure which species- some kind of tree frog? but none of the identifying photos I find online are quite as orange- 

He moved while I was looking close, and the skin seemed very loose on his back.

Next day, I saw the little frog in the middle of the beans still-

Didn't walk around under the vines this time, but just took a few photos from the back- can see the skin pattern now 

I like to think he's eating all those pests that used to make my bean plants sickly. Here's the bright-colored round beetle in the garden- causing damage I think- and I recognize them now- immature stink bug.
