tonight's bug du jour....

While out for a moonlit stroll amongst my Angel Trumpets tonight I stumbled upon this handsome fellow.  He was working his way up my Snowbank brugmansia plant.

I'm used to seeing the green praying mantis around my plants but I think this is the first time I spotted one this color.

He was on a mission to climb up to the top of this five foot tall plant.

I asked him to pray for blooms on this plant and he kindly obliged!
