Dangerous liaison

The sun was shining in blue sky at breakfast but clouds moved in, first wispy, then thicker.  Fearing rain, I went swimming in the morning.  That was good fortune for a skink, beetles, a wasp, and a caterpillar.  I spotted a glass snail moseying across the patio.  Then a strong wind gust brought a sprinkle of rain that sent me inside. 

At dusk, K discovered a couple of mantises mating in the azalea outside the window.   They seemed quite small as they hung upside down from a branch.  The male was more brown while the green female was obvious with a swollen abdomen.
