Welcome guests
After suffering the visitation of Flea beetles, aphids, army worms & other undesirables, it was nice to see these fine visitors to my garden: Never seen neon green chelicerae before.

I inadvertently picked up a spider like that yesterday while picking black raspberries. He was on a raspberry eating a fly that HAD been eating the raspberry, and among all the leaves I douldn't see him. When I grabbed the raspberry, and it moved, it didn't take too long to let it go.... I wish I had more of those guys in my garden.
25 pints of black raspberry jam so far... |

Nice picks! I love Mantids, I used to raise them for my garden years ago.

you've gotta love Mother Nature and her way of taking care of things for us. I love spiders and mantis in the garden.
