All new and tiny

It's spring and new life is everywhere. How about this little praying mantis. Dan found him and a sibling on one of our windows. He was about one centimeter, legs included. It's my fingers you see behind.


Beware the cactus wren, who patrols the porch!

We so seldom see Preying Mantis, altho they are here, and never one so tiny. I love coming upon them and thinking they are a stick or some litter. I always startle and then scare them, too.
