    Hi there Jill, love that second shot clap.gif
    The unopened blooms of the plant are so colourful
    What sort of plant is that one ??? ... I love it.

    I wish I could see the third image, but it shows up only as an empty box with a Red X in it... ne_nau.gif

    Beatiful work Jill clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    Good shots but the sweat bee is wonderful.
    #1 is a skipper butterfly I think.
    Like Skippy can't see #3

    Thanks Skippy . I think I've fixed the link for the spider. I don't know what the flower is. A neighbor of mine gave it to me, she didn't know either. Next year I may take a cutting to one of the local plant shop and ask.

    Thanks Lord V. A sweat bee huh, glad to know that. I looked it up in What's That Bug to get an ID and came up with metallic green bee. Did the same with the spider, the pic should show now.

    Thanks, I'd send them if I could :D:D:D. I've read in another forum that some people are buying praying mantis eggs off the web and hatching them so they can get some good pics ! rolleyes1.gif
