I am learning to ID the cool living things I find. I had no idea there are living things named Turkey Tail and Jelly Fungus!

Thanks bayucca! The wings sure look right, but the head looks a little different. But I don't have any better ideas, so I changed it!! Thanks!

Baby Praying Mantis!! commented on by judy Baltimore, Maryland, USA10 years ago

Thanks for the correction. I was looking forward to watching them mature. Unfortunately a day or two after they appeared, we had a torrential rain storm. And I have not seen any of them since. I'm hoping they are just hiding somewhere & will re-appear...

Thanks again ForestDragon! I was just wondering why Nehemiah wears gloves!
He sure didn't seem scarey (tho I am big and it was very small...)
I'll be watching out for these now.

Nehemiah, do they bite? or just creepy?

What would the scientific name be? Phidippus Salticidae??

Thank you ForestDragon! Unfortunately the sun was very bright & the other pix were blurry. I will watch out for him though and try to get some more.
