Sunday

Now I ask you, honestly..... What could possibly be WORSE than falling?

Hanging on.....


by a mere thread.....


and unknowningly.....

FOR DEAR LIFE!

Oh my, these poor mindless critters ;0)

Wow, you really have a knack for capturing the mantids in some interesting moments.

Do you know what kind of caterpillar that is?

My Catalpa Tree was covered with these.... Catalpa Sphinx Moth. I have to shake the tree many times to keep them from eating every leaf. This past year I was preoccupied with other things and forgot. They stripped it bare... therefore no blooming. The tree produced new leaves and a whole new generation of caterpillars ensued feasting. Those caterpillars will emerge from their pupas next year. The caterpillars are pretty aren't they ;0)
