It's the most wonderful time of the year - baby praying mantis season!

I haven't posted any new photos in a month or so for reasons, not least that it's been fun to look through old pictures and give them another chance at love, or views, or whatever. But yesterday I spotted the first praying mantis babies of the season, and that calls for a change of pace. Shoot, I think it should be a holiday.

The earliest I have ever seen mantis babies here is April 14. So, April 21 is right on time. I found at least five individuals, and they are so tiny and well-camouflaged that it certainly means there are lots more I haven't seen.

Hooray, and happy Baby Mantis Season!

Cochise County, Arizona, April 2024.

Ants in the garden 🐜

I was enjoying the rare warmth in between so many rainy days in my garden on Friday, and there were so many ants. Sometimes, they manage to get inside the house too. The walls are at least 60cm thick and made of stone...

They can be quite annoying, but they are such interesting creatures too.

They inspired me, and I spent a few hours on this design. Which version do you prefer?

...I hope it's as relevant what Elain wants Azriel for.

"Put it on me?"

and

"I should go." (and staying)

while

"Her arousal drifted up to him --"

also

"Yes', Elain breathed" (period)

then

"Offer and permission."

are all terribly self-explanatory. <3
