It was a banner day for bugs here at EarthNSky. I was working on the
chicken coop and something moving caught my eye. It was a walking
stick, and a large one at that! I saw a baby walker a couple of weeks
ago-so cute, so this one must have been great granddad(or grandma). A
few minutes later, while looking at my asparagus berries, a praying
mantis crawled off the fern and onto my hand. They kind of creep me out
because they look like what I would envision an alien to look like, but
I know they are super beneficial so I would never harm one.
No snakes seen today, but I did see a pileated woodpecker hammering on a
dead pine. A nearby squirrel wasn't happy about it either. Tonight,
while out on the deck, we saw several bats struggling in the wind,
listened to the coyotes, and I saw a luna month on the window looking
confused at to what happened to the lights!
