I have them everywhere! I even had to help one find it's way outside this morning. Those suckers grow fast!

I love those things; I haven't found any in my yard yet this year though :sad:

But are you down with akident?

Me too! They're cute when they're little.

The female eats the male after they mate.....

Put another dime in the jukebox, baby!

I see them every day. I think I may have put out too many egg sacks.

Looks a little like Kermit.

Kinda looks like Kermie made a baby with a green pepper.

Very mature.

Where did you get them to begin with? I'd love to get some.

I have a bunch at my house. I found one of their nests last year before it got run over by the lawn mower and relocated it to my front gardens.

One is living in my huge spider plant on the front porch. I say good morning to him (her?) every morning when I let the cats out.

MLE ordered a bunch and we split the cost. I'll see if I can get the link for you.

They're supposed to be good for your yard, aren't they?

They eat LOTS of bugs.....

Males are brown, females are green.

 

[jazz lady]

They eat LOTS of bugs.....

Plus they're cool to watch.

Males are brown, females are green.

Is that how you tell the difference? I didn't know that. I guess I say hi to HIM every morning in my spidey plant.

They stop when they see you walking toward them, then raise up and turn their wicked heads at you. I've had them follow me on more than one occasion.
