Garden Creatures

Thought you might like these pictures of some crawly friends we’ve found around.

We have found many Praying Mantis in our garden this year. This is a female (large and green). We’ve also seen countless males (much smaller and brown). The kids enjoy holding them and carrying them around.

I have no idea what sort of insect this is, but isn’t it cool looking?!?! It was about the size of a fingernail.

Some of our friends get a lot of chameleons in their gardens (we’re only a little jealous). This baby one is climbing on a grape stem — so tiny! They released him after a day or so of admiring him.
