Thanks Fons, Elsa and Jakov. Yes Jakov I am having a good time going out into our yard on the hunt, pith helmet on head and weapon in hand (as it were) carefully stalking my prey.

It's fascinating to know your yard attracts various critters from above and below.  These fantastic images are pleasant proof of that.  Thanks for sharing, Tom!

Thanks Akira  :)

My yard is a whole world in its own right. I will never see everything in it so I will always have something new to see!
