#lizard tail

Plant of the Day

Sunday 2 August 2026

These small, scented, white, pale greenish flowers are from the marginal plant Anemopsis californica (Apache beads, lizard tail, yerba mansa). This plant needs a permanently moist soil. It will tolerate up to 10cm of water over the crown and will flourish in sun or semi-shade.

7k into this stupid chapter and scene three keeps getting away from me 😭 reading internal monologues is not my favorite but wow i cannot seem to stop writing them editing this is gonna be so fun unles i…don’t………

Our fat stripey gray kitty Teekee (RIP, 2004ish-2020) always used to chase lizards and then hassle them just enough for them to drop their tails…

And then he'd eat the tails only, letting the lizard go pretty much unharmed aside from being a little freaked out. He'd sit there happily munching on the tail and totally ignore the rest of the lizard as it scuttled away to find a place to hide or a way to escape from the house.

So of course, when I saw this picture of a weird sticker someone had put on a gas pump talking about eating lizard tails...

...I thought about that goofy kitty right away. 😅

And here he is demonstrating the method of harvesting lizard tails.

Random scraggly crackhead cat doesn't get the whole "you're only supposed to eat the tail, because it grows back and then you can eat it again" part... so he attempts to eat the rest.

Colobonema species in the video.

Bell to about 3 cm (1.2 in)

Few dozen long, fine tentacles

It can eject a tentacle that looks like a worm as a distraction. It then regrows its tentacles.
