Buggy

Earlier this week, typhoon number 11 whooshed through Shizuoka, leaving clear skies, humid weather - and an influx of insects for the first time this summer.

We are accustomed to having lots of interesting insects from June until September (at least), so this rash was overdue, and brought a handsome visitor to our back balcony on Tuesday morning as I was hanging up the laundry...

I occasionally find praying mantis at my house here in Los Angeles.

Beautiful mantis. Sometimes don't you just wish you had a good 8mm lens though to get a really clear close up of these guys?
