Caught in the Garden

Does anyone know what sort of insect this is?

I caught in my garden this afternoon. This is about twice life size.

Can you tell I'm bored?

Ha Ha - yes she does look rather stiff and obviously not caring that she's invading your garden. Maybe look for a hobby that takes your mind off being bored. That's why I do jewellry, as well as sudoku, word breaks and sometimes my patchwork quilting. Not that I'm suggesting you take up things like that - but obviously something that engages your mind. I live alone and I need these pastimes to keep me from going insane (not sure if it's working though!!)

I'm pleased to have given you a laugh Jenny.

I think I'll take up photography! I also do cryptic crosswords and read a lot.

Ha ha, yes we can tell, but you filled the time well Keith ;-))
I think it's a female of the species, but there are so many of that breed, so I cannot name it!

Glad to has given you a laugh Rosa............my wife found some small figures and tiny jars in a craft shop and I couldn't resist setting up a shot!

I was going to say it keeps me sane...................but maybe it's having the opposite effect!
