In post #1230 there is a second one hiding in the upper corner of the door. It stayed in the vicinity of the one on the screen for quite a while. The one on the screen has been a guest for three weeks now.

I saw lots of deer today while out fishing.
Six to be exact and all on the road. Fortunately none attacked my vehicles grill and they are all still out roaming around.

From our front porch.
A bobcat walked through the same spot exactly one minute before this little buck did, so I guess they must be buddies.

Hadn't seen the mantis eat in a day or two, but a bit after starting the Blackstone I noticed it was eating an earwig.
The moth put up a fluttering struggle but the mantis finally pinned it and went to work
After eating the head and removing the wings it went to work on the body.
Carcuses and mantis turds

The wife got us up last night and said the mantis was doing something weird. Turns out it was final molt time. Check out the wing buds.
And this morning full wings.

It went very well we think, thanks. Rotator cuff. Got held up by the Elensburg fire for 2hr. Monday on the way over, then after the block wouldn't let his lung work so we stayed an extra night at UW Medicine. Quite the adventure.
Walked through our side yard this morning.
Not the “Backyard”, but out front.
A smaller two point buck followed him.
