Lloyd found this wee guy...
in our wood pile. Well he actually brought her (?) in with the wood for the fire. I'm thinking she really shouldn't be around at this time of year and probably only is because it's been so mild. I really don't know what to do with her. If I keep her inside in the warmth there are no bugs for her to eat and if I put her outside she will surely die when it gets cold.
Lloyd has suggested the wool shed as it's warmer and there are lots of bugs.
Suggestions on a postcard, please.
I'm disappointed these aren't sharper - I really should learn what the buttons on the camera mean!

Gosh they look like aliens don't they? LD
ReplyDeleteI hope she makes it.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura, M bought one home from Nonnos the other day, it was a beautiful stick insect.....I thought she should have left it where she found it, as they eat the things from where it was found. I would put it back in the wood.....
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteFind the button that makes a flower pop up, that is your super micro mode and it will make things much sharper!!!
We put it back with the wood into the wood shed - it's quite cold in there so I have little hope it'll survive - it's just a baby one. :(
ReplyDeleteOrganicmommy, I have a DSLR with a macro lens on it and usually things are much sharper - it just wasn't happening today! I do see a flower on the dial thingy so I'll try that !
Oh, she is so lovely, I do love the other praying mantis shot you took before - I just love them so much. Why can't we have them here in Scotland!

ReplyDeleteYikes!!!! He/she looks huge! I'm afraid I'd let it take its chances in the woolshed, but then I do not care for bugs of any sort--where Lloyd aquired his love of "friends" from I've no idea!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the beans, when eaten put pegs on noses!
Much love from ALL of us.

the wee mantis is no longer. :( poor wee thing. It's just not the right time of year for it to even be here!
ReplyDeleteoops! it's still here!!! It just moved! whoo hoo
ReplyDeleteOh! She is so cute, isn't she?! What super great photos too! Nice wee find Lloyd!
ReplyDeleteI will say a little prayer for her and hopefully she will survive - just so beautiful.
