I finally found a bug I like, a kung fu killer for sure a praying mantis on my Japanese pepper plant.



I also found some more tobacco hornworms and some had wasp eggs on them... is there no end to them?

Foggy dawn here. We got another inch+ of rain last night, weekend total of 3.5" .

54F this morning... going to get some branches burned and split firewood.

Molly has been molting like a super star... feathers all over the place and she looks wild. I guess it's better than molting in the middle of winter.

It’s still 58 here ... perfect!

I went to move a saw horse this morning and saw this lady who had attached her web to it.

A couple days ago, there were hundreds, maybe thousands of dragonflies zooming around. I tried to catch the magical feeling but they are all a blur and you can't really see more than a dozen or so. This is Speckles, out enjoying the event:

This is Fred. He builds his webs outside the back door, and invariably we walk thru part of it each morning. But he doesn't give up. He stays out of the middle of the walk zone, and even if he loses a strand, the web is still usable. Here he is repairing the damage yet again.....
