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.

The Master’s tendency to actually do the jobs that he’s using as cover is sending me. He’s on Earth so much anyway, you know he’s sometimes just had jobs to buy groceries or make a paper trail or feed his online shopping addiction or whatever. Ninety percent chance he’s said the phrase, “Hello, you’ve reached technical support, my name is,” *clicks randomiser* “Steven, how may I help you today?” Firmly believes that the Doctor only thinks the best of humanity because they’ve never worked in customer service.
