ST. PETERSBURG --

Tampa Bay's elusive mystery monkey was spotted again - this time in south St. Petersburg.

Don McBride snapped a photo as the macaque monkey made a stop in his yard in the area of 56th Avenue South.

The monkey was checking out his reflection in some kind of mirrored cube. Perhaps, he thought he found a friend.

The monkey, which has its own Facebook following, has been spotted multiple times but everytime gives Fish and Wildlife officials the slip.
