nice one!
I had not noticed! Indeed, perhaps she was lying eggs. What a nice moment I caught, then :-)
Very nice colours Marta. I think I can see the abdomen curled round in pic#1. Do you think it was laying eggs maybe?
Thanks VivBraznell! It was difficult to get a decent shot. It kept flying in windy grass :-)
Nice camouflage!
