Why is it legal for her security to be pulled? I canโt be the only person asking this question.

Yes, this is their actual gait. Imagine that youโre on a branch and youโre moving with the wind. Thatโs what the mantis is doing.โบ๏ธ๐
NanLeah (@poetryofnature.bsky.social) reply parent
I have to share with you that I just saw my first skipper. Hope to get the photos off my camera soon. Photographing and working with one hand so everythingโs a little sketchy.โบ๏ธ
NanLeah (@poetryofnature.bsky.social) reply parent
It is. I love how the catfish in the other blind cave fish evolved and itโs amazing that they can actually Byrd dog that period in history when it happened. Iโm curious about how the world will evolve when humans are gone. Thoughts?
NanLeah (@poetryofnature.bsky.social) reply parent
Iโm not clear on what you mean. Could you please say more about using my photo? What art piece are you making? Thank you.๐

Beautiful Gray. Love the pairing of the music and video. Is this a cuckoo wasp?๐โบ๏ธ
NanLeah (@poetryofnature.bsky.social) reply parent
That means he was comfortable with you and most likely curious as well. I love mantises and I rarely see them here. Really a gorgeous capture.๐๐ฅฐ

One of mine too. Some days thereโs so many beautiful ones I canโt pick a favorite. The reason this oneโs my favorite is because my husband gave me this rosebush about 20 years ago. When it blooms, it reminds us of the love and joy weโve nurtured over the years.
NanLeah (@poetryofnature.bsky.social) reply parent

To my great joy, I discovered my rose bush had 4 new buds. Usually it blooms early in the summer & that's it. It's wonderful to have this royal beauty to look forward to just a while longer. Rose blessings on your day. #rose #poetryofnature #FlowersOnFriday #SensoryArt #Colors #TheLittleThings

Youโre really fortunate, Gray. I havenโt seen one skipper this year, and they are here every year almost always by the end of July. I donโt know what food or other resource is missing for them. They are some of my favorite critters. Harbingers of autumn.๐
