You have a very plant and insects rich garden, who is the gardener, your wife, you, both?

Keith Burton replied to Xata:

Thank you Isabel............that's probably because it's a bit of a jungle :-)))

My wife is the gardener............I just get called upon to do stuff involving brute force and ignorance...........and to take photos of course..!!

It blends in with plants so well Keith. What a great camouflage. I'm not sure that I have ever seen one, but with it looking so much like a leaf, I may have missed it!

A super picture and beautifully captured Keith.

Keith Burton replied to Rosalyn Hilborne:

They always hang inside down as far as I know.........and as you noted can easily be mistaken for a leaf. This is the first and only one I've seen in my garden for quite some time, so I was please to get this photo.

Glad you like it Rosa...........and thanks for your comments as always.
