Saw this little one resting on an iris leaf yesterday. Shot it hand-held, moving closer and closer until we were nearly nose to... nose(?).
Have a great week, everyone!

Kiki, these skinny, long-legged insects flutter around the jasmine bush in our yard. We have an agreement: I don't bother them (this photo op's an exception), and they don't bother me!
Thanks for your positive comments. :-) #10108428
