Green Pistolero ...aaaaayyyiiii!!!

[texas blues]

Hey ya'll once again from the big dry ditch here in Las Vegas. Today I had moved my pequins to a spot where the light is a bit more consistent now that we are beginning to get away from triple digit weather and all out assault of solar radiation. I walked out to the patio this eve to check on some blossom's on a few pequins and discovered this bad boy waiting in ambush. I am hoping he will execute any trespassers with extreme prejudice. I reckon he is a very good omen...what say ya'll?

Cheers ya'll, TB.

I love finding creatures like that one on my plants. They are doing a good job and are terribly exciting to just look at. I have a lot of frogs, lizards and toads in my garden and I am excited anytime I see one. They probably made themselves comfty during the 1-2 years period of time when nobody moved a finger in that garden, I gotta make sure I don't chase them all away.

the mantis is a very graceful, deadly creature to whom ever they want to eat...and so quick...they strike like lightning and hold on as they eat their prey alive......I love that part....
