Rare albino praying mantis? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think she’s just molting? (Taken at my sister Angela’s house in Arizona)
Squirrel count: 42… and they won’t stop coming…
Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!!

42 squirrels? Do you get volunteer help to take care of them, it must be difficult to keep on top of the feeding?

We just had to transfer 15 of them to another facility, but we do get volunteer help. And that’s a whole bunch of squirrels PLUS all the other animals we have like birds, bunnies, raptors, raccoons, fawns. Two to three people are planted in the baby room and are feeding the squirrels all day long, but they switch out. We couldn’t help so many animals if it weren’t for the volunteers. 🙂

That’s an awesome picture! You caught the perfect angle 🙂
Anyway, believe it or not, my nickname in high school was “Squirrel.” I think it was due to my tendency to pose, preen and prance around like one of those little creatures.
Just a straight up HAM!!!!
Anyway, good luck managing.

Viva la squirrels, Paula! That is a Nat Geo type photo. How did you get so close to Mr. or Ms. Mantis without scaring him/her off?

Thank you Susan! They think they’re camouflaged, and she would be if she were her normal green. I’m going to send you one and we’ll play “find the mantis,” lol.

I never knew there was a a such thing as an albino preying mantis. Maybe it was praying to turn green so that it could blend in with the vegetation cuz it surely sticks out like a sore thumb! 😀
