Cool photos.  Do you have any shots of the dreaded red spider mite??  Until the recent rains, some of the plants were still being sucked dry.

Black Grasshoppers

Ehhhh!

Aren't those the immature versions of the horrid eastern lubber grasshopper?

Just discovered 2 of them (bleahhhh) doing the "husband & wife team" thing on my roeb.  I broke up the fun n' games with a can of Raid - from a real safe distance :P

There's a six-inch flying stick (mantis) in my yard.  I saw it for the first time yesterday and then saw it again this morning.

I had never seen these before in the San Diego area and I've lived here for over 40 years.

They don`t look good when its dinner time :(

Lady bugs are the calvary charging over the hill to rescue you.  Lady bugs are ravenous little expletives that eat aphids, scale, mealy bugs, gotta love 'em.  Lady bugs make sharks seem anorexic by comparison, which is a good thing, because aphids, scale, etc., are often BORN pregnant, they reproduce so fast. . . .

Mantids, like ladybugs, make sharks seem anorexic.  

Mongo like mantid . . .

capture bugs live in celliloid(Film).Simply Superb man !

Is the camera military stuff since some pictures appears as though you shot them through night-vision military hardware...

Iam shure all the members would have loved it. But now i like to know as how your going to treat the menace.

One Man One Tree..

Love,

Kris (to all my friends).
