Just in case you guys were curious about where I caught the alligator lizard, the striped shore crabs, and the blue bellied lizards, here are pics of there habitat:

Here's a walkthrough of their habitat areas and where the animals were found:
I'm walking down the pathway to head to the beach



Beach on right, school buildings on left:



Just a pic in the direction of the school buildings:





Down the stairs I go:



Beach on right, man-made lagoon on left and "island" in the middle of the two:





Better pic of the lagoon surrounding the piece of land and to the left is my school's bell/clock tower:



I've reached the beach's shoreline:



I decide to go toward the beach on the right side and leave the "island" for later:





I spot some cool looking boulders on the beach, covered in algae:







I come to the little oasis pool where the shore crabs hide:











Managed to pull this strange looking shellfish off the rocks in the little pool:





Mussels covered pretty much all areas of the shore rocks:





I decided to go to the "island" and look around for some lizards, so I head around:

Lagoon waters on right:





More lagoon waters:







I come up to a few large pieces of a fallen tree:



I take a look and this is where I found the alligator lizard by sheer luck:



Managed to snap this beetle before it scurried away:



Well, that's pretty much it to the situ pics.

Cool pictures, your towns a bit like mine and not at all at the same time...

Real nice mate. What a place to have on your doorstep! Probably the best looking rock pool I've ever seen. No native scorps around there?

I like the last pic of the beetle, give a good sense of speed and movement.

nice pics mate

the beetle looks just like the one bex has from the mealworm

no no...its different species...its obvious

not for me xD

That awesome and the school is right there wish my school was next to a bloody beach that would have been amazing!! That beetle pic almost looks unreal lol

JamieLawrence: Yes, it is quite a beautiful place Unfortunately no scorpions that I can find! I agree about the beetle pic. I just snapped it while it sped by and got a pretty bizarre looking pic.

Bedlam & Manser: Thanks a lot guys!

Scorpioooo: it's not obvious for me either lol I guess that's because I have done 0 research on beetles

Bex: hahaha yup, it's a nice place to go to school at and I need to keep myself from taking it for granted. And I've gotta say, when I looked at the beetle pic after I snapped it, I was wondering how the heck I did that lol
