Garden friends

[tarev]

I like finding these ones in my garden.

Found this nice dragonfly on one of the epi cacti leaves


A very young praying mantis..I thought it was a debris, trying to remove it, when it moved

I have always found praying mantis fascinating.

Found this hummie on our paver..I almost stepped on it..I felt sad..thought it was dead! At closer look..its eyes blinked!



Carefully picked it up with paper towels, body feels still soft to touch, and I do not see any open wound or any bleeding, but its eyes isquinting.


Placed it on our garden table..I tried to put its beak into the little feeder..do not know if it was able to drink..but I did see later it managed to sit up and open its wings.so I left the feeder beside it.


I went back inside for a second, and when I came back, it is gone! So I am just hoping it was just dazed and has recovered well!

Really lovely garden friends, and glad the humming bird seemed to recover

Always fun to watch Swallowtail butterfly enjoying the milkweed...
