Kitties and critters

  Last week I had my resident rain spider made its appearance    from behind my bedroom wardrobe. I only noticed it I saw       madam Missy with neck craned upwards and staring at the   wall. 

Missy staring at the spider! 

Later that morning while I opened the shop, I noticed Lips, our veranda cat, staring at a creeper on the rail in front of my shop. 

As I rescued the praying mantis, it flew to my windowsill. Of course, I grabbed my camera and snapped it.

I removed the mantis from here and placed it in the garden far from Lips' wanderings.

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU ALL!

    I'm somewhat cautious around big spiders as we have a dangerous one here - the brown recluse - which can give a very bad bite and awful after effects! Sounds like your live-in one is friendly, well at least I hope so!
    I do love the praying mantis - get a few in the summer garden and enjoy watching them move slowly around the plants and shrubs - good bugs to have!
    Happy weekend Jo - Mary

    That spider gives me the creeps, but I do like the mantis.

    Little critters like those will definitely draw the attention of a cat.
