So cool

I like to see others finds as I like to do that with my son. We/I have turned the bk garden over to wild life, medow with a 2mt pond so we get to see lots of different sp

not mantis obviously but spiders n beetles, isopods, butterfly's ect. We actually found a colony of invisible spiders in our tree yesterday, but now we will have to keep an eye out for this sp too

Thanks Vi I love learning about new species
