Lizard

Hello. There was a small black lizard w/ a blue tail on my porch this morning. I was trying to research whether that is indigenous to this area, but could not figure it out. I was hoping someone here could tell me. We live in Olney, Il. Thank you, Andrew

It sounds like it might have been a common five-lined skink. You can find photos of that species, and the other reptiles and amphibians native to Illinois at: http://www.inhs.illinois.edu/animals_plants/herps/ilspecies.html
