For two days we saw a praying mantis hiding out in the lily leaves at the bus stop. We went back last night to hunt for him (or her), but it proved fruitless. The kids really enjoyed seeing how well he could blend in! We looked again this morning but he's either moved on to someone else's lilies or decided to be camera shy. Bummer.
But we have been watching this spider all week also. Carrie spotted him (or her) because the web was facing the sidewalk for the beginning of the week. Since then, the spider has changed it to the rear side of the bushes, so the kids climb up in behind to inspect the web. The spider has yellow stripes and is pretty good-sized... must be doing a good job eating those mosquitos!
