This is a continuation of nature’s creatures. Part I was posted on April 6.
All photos are my personal collection. ~Vic
Just hanging out on the front porch.
10-08-2014Long legs and big feet.
10-08-2014Walking around town.
Poor focus but, still beautiful.
07-31-2016This was a huge web with an equally huge spider.
Also a poor focus. I was keeping some distance.
My phone didn’t want to coöperate.
The tan blur in the center is said spider.
09-06-2016Another huge spider, hanging from the eave over the front porch.
A light rain highlighted the web.
09-30-2016I believe this cute, deceased, furry thing is a mole but, I’m not totally sure.
The neighbor’s cat brought me a present.
10-21-2016I nearly missed seeing this after finding the mole.
She is almost the same color as the table.This is the first Preying Mantis I’ve seen that was brown.
Most of the ones I have encountered, before, were green.

The Mantis would force me to leg it to the panic room.

She IS big. I was so hoping she wouldn’t jump on me. I’d have s***!

I like photographing them (webs), not walking into them. Every summer, I have to be careful on the front porch. LAWD.

I know…you will be walking and then that feeling on your face… They are beautiful though…the webs.

“…that feeling on your face…” Yeah. Watch me become a karate master.
