Don't feel bad about the lizard thing..
When we moved here, I kept hearing my neighbor talk about fishing with 
'spring lizards'.  Now, I'm no expert, but I do love my science, and I 
had never heard of that one..Come to find out, only after asking to see 
one, they were fishing with spotted salamanders...lol...spring lizards...
So now that I think about it, in a clear, cold spring (in any season, 
not necessarily Spring) you can flip over rocks and find crawdads and 
SPRING LIZARDS... :)
