Oh jeeze. I could post a million critterpix. All of these (except the snapping turtle, which was taken near Birmingham, AL) were taken within about a 25-mile radius of my house in the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

We live in the mountains, several miles from a river or lake of any size. Yet, we have crawfish in our yard!

Holy fricking shit, underground lobsters! Stuff of nightmares!

Wow crawfish on the ground I've never seen. Crazy! And man snapping turtles can get gigantic. He looks like a biggun.

I'm going to have nightmares about that millipede. :-(

Hell's bells, I forgot a couple worthwhile candidates.

It's a corn snake. Completely harmless, unless you're a small rodent.
