All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).

Aww that's adorable! I had to usher this little one off of the hot sidewalk this afternoon. It was about two inches long and hard to see in the sun. It's rare to actually see them away from the bushes in my area.
