In the Garden....

Here are some pictures taken today out in our garden.

The female Praying Mantis, Mantis religiosa, was out on the doorstep this morning..Possibly looking for a room?

The beautiful female Orb-Web Spider, Argiope Bruennichi, was out hiding in the flower bed.Her web with a zig zag band through the middle to strengthen it was small considering her size.

Finally the Red-backed Shrike, sitting happily watching the day go by on our electricity cable.
