  1. I was just outside watering the garden in the dark and when I came inside, I started talking to Kid2 who was near the front door and then we both heard a big flap behind us. I thought it was a moth but then Kid2 spotted it on the door – a praying mantis!

    I asked if it would like to go back outside and it said (I assume, if the waving of the forelegs were anything to go by) yes please, so we did. I wonder if it was one of the babies we put outside last spring?! I kind of hope it was 🥰

  2. I used to be really into insect photography, because macro photography is fun. I took these back in like 2013ish? Maybe fedi will like them.

    The mantis was my pet, and the butterfly was from a "butterfly kit".

  3. Another giant golden orb weaver, there are plenty of it currently on the road side... so you can see a lot of praying mantis egg cases, containing hundreds of eggs... this one attached to a tamarind plant...It is likely from an invasive species such as the Chinese mantis, which are commonly sold commercially for pest control. #spider #prayingmantis

  4. While hiking in #Sedona, AZ, this guy suddenly ran onto the trail and almost got stepped on. We left him safe and alive after taking a few photos.

  5. CW: bug (praying mantis)

    Went to rake some fallen sticks off the lawn before the season's final mow and discovered one stick was actually our friendly neighborhood praying mantis. Relocated her to a nearby bush where she could safely judge my yard-working skills.

  6. anthro tarot: xv - the devil

    the devil card is about our shadow-self, addiction and unhealthy attachments and relationships, mostly by us willingly attaching us to a bad habit/person/whatever against our better judgement.

    micron pens and #watercolors as usual.
