Deer ate some of my ghost pepper plant while I was away...

We think of a wooded park as habitat for them but as long as they can find something to eat/drink and don't feel they are threatened, they can live anywhere.

It's a city; everything that isn't wooded park is street and lawn. They can wander it, especially at night, but they need to be able to go somewhere when the people come back out.

True, but they can cover a lot of ground in a short time. Also if the milkman or someone out early spots them, not likely to freak out like if was a bear or coyote or something bitey.
Maybe the deer are renting an apartment close by.

I almost hit a deer in my neighborhood yesterday. I wasn't even going fast. Maybe 25? I saw it out of the corner of my eye running along side me and veering toward of me. I knew there was no car behind me so I stepped on the brake, and it veered harder at me, so I stepped harder. The fucking thing finally got me to panic brake by cutting directly in front of me just in front of my bumper.

I saw a nopedeer the other evening. I saw her running toward the road, when she got into the outside edge of my headlights, she said "Nope.", and made the laziest u-turn back into the field, without changing her gait whatsoever.

That cat looks comfy. There's a certain Harry S. Miller folk song that comes to mind.

I think this cat was someone's pet they turned out in the wild. It saw the door open and went in like any house cat would. Being the cat didn't freak out upon seeing the human tells me it was probably rescued until it could be turned out.

OK. I fee dumb that I never realized this before, but when you are outside at night and are wearing a fairly strong headlamp, those glittering dew drops you see here and there in large numbers on the grass are actually spider's eyes looking back at you. You'll see, when you get closer. And they are everywhere.

If you change your headlamp to red, they glow red.

I have no experience with the phenomenon you're describing, but how do you know it's not actual moisture/dew drops?

Because when you walk up to one, it's a spider. I tried to say that in my post but wasn't terribly clear.

It is a ground spiders web which catches fleas or mosquitoes or whatever. Before morning they collect their web to recycle for the next night. That is dew shining back at you as the spider is so small its doubtful you could see the reflection of its eyes.
