Some of you want to control these illegal aliens and others wouldn’t want to kill these cute lizards. I wonder if people would feel the same if they looked like spiders.

You can use this information however you like.
Didn’t waste my time reading cause florida has bigger fish to fry.


I find them beneficial and I don’t care what FFG says, they catch insects and do IMO absolutely no harm. IMO it’s some invasive humans bulldozing every square inch also problem.
