Irodium cicutelum
This little plant is a big invader in the Mojave desert, but it's native in the Negev, and this year was in full bloom around Sede Boqer.
Lizard Man's Travels
This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

it's weird seeing plants in their native context when you're used to seeing them as pests, and not thinking automatically 'weed!'
Yes, well there was the incident just before this where I stuck a majestic pose and declared, "Foul weed, begone! Go back to your homeland and grow here nevermore, lest I smite..."
at which point I realized that the pitiful but relatively attractive little plant was actually growing where it was supposed to grow.
