Prey Tell

Here are a few snapshots from the end of August. There was a creature on the screen door:
A preying mantis, it was, to be exact. (No scientific name, sorry; I'm supposed to be cramming for a tutoring session. . .No, I'm tutoring, not being tutored, but I put it off as expertly as any student ever did.)

Well, you don't get to take a picture of a preying mantis every day, so might as well get all you can while you can, eh?
