Weird. Adam posted almost word for word what I was going to say, except I was also going to mention that this was one of the weirder PBN subjects that I've encountered. Maybe you could do a germ series. Some are pretty.#3: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jul 14, 2009
Amazing that you and I thought alike, isn't it.#4: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 14, 2009
Not entirely amazing. We've been sharing our opinions and solution techniques on on PBN puzzles for years now. A certain amount of convergence is not so very amazing.#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jul 15, 2009
Well, when you consider that the two people converging are you and I, then yes, I feel it's amazing. Maybe with two other people involved, not so amazing.#6: MarioMax (MarioMax) on Jul 15, 2009 [SPOILER]
It looks more like a strange cockroach to me.#7: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 15, 2009 [SPOILER]
Well, Adam and Jan, I was going to write pretty much the same thing. I imagine there will be many other who will chime in. Not so amazing then. :-) But the puzzle was amazingly fun. Thanks, Gator!#8: Gator (Gator) on Jul 15, 2009 [SPOILER]
#6 - I think I based the puzzle off of this image.#9: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jul 18, 2009

I believe the E coli text was added for solvability.
Thanks all.
A little beauty for sure! I enjoyed the heck out of this one. Thank you, Gator.#10: Jota (jota) on Jan 3, 2010

fun puzzle#13: Jill Tallmer (Yidl) on Dec 31, 2018
This was one of the easiest Gator puzzles I've tackled. Lots of fun.#14: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Dec 20, 2019
I actually used a little of what I call "Gator logic" in solving some of the trickier spots. Many of your images have that diagonal perspective, which helps in placing certain 2s and 3s.#15: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Dec 20, 2019 [HINT] [SPOILER]
Thanks for yet another fun puzz!
