You're welcome Joy. Although not a nature fanatic,recently I've come to appreciate that things in nature have a way of putting every day life and its trials and tribulations, in a truer perspective.Smell the roses so to speak. I have no doubt that my growing interest in amber and its inclusions has gone a long way toward forming my new found interest in insects, plants, and flowers.
Take care.

Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for sharing those photos! He is gorgeous! Don't you dare encase him in plastic resin! I always wondered about the mentality of those who can take a gecko, beautiful butterfly, snake and such and throw them into hot resin and watch them die. I caught your hint of sarcasm though ;)
People who appreciate nature are my kind of people!!

Yesterday morning I was watering some plants on my patio when a mantis poked his soaking wet head out of the foliage and glared at me. I'm always amazed how they can swivel their heads and follow you as you move. This one didn't disappoint in that respect and seemed to be giving me the evil eye as I moved in for a closer look.
I went inside and grabbed my camera, and when I returned, this is what I saw. He looked to be thoroughly enjoying his freshly caught breakfast of a large beetle. Within a half hour, the beetle was gone!
Maybe I should have dumped some plastic resin on them and tried to compete on eBay with those "honorable" amber merchants.
