Interesting Insects

 Mother Nature has been showing off some of her critters the past couple of days.  First is a Marbled-Orbweaver spider who built a web from the fence to a branch.  Quite a colorful and scary looking spider but supposedly not dangerous to humans.  Meanwhile I was surprised to see a six inch long Praying Mantis on the back door.  The dog was sniffing him and the dog seemed more afraid than the bug.  He hung around for an hour and then move on somewhere else.
