Praying mantis

I was bemoaning in my head how little time I had had to observe wildlife when up popped a small green praying mantis. Actually it edged around the railing and at first I thought I was seeing a grasshopper's leg. It was not well camouflaged on the chrome.

A goldfinch got away from me along with dragonflies and butterflies and skinks. Hummers looked for other food but didn't find the scarlet climber so far. On my way home after dark, a possum bustled across the street.  It moved surprisingly fast on its short legs.
