My 'little buddy' died

[fire-n-ice]

I've had a very special leaf bug inhabiting my front porch plants, keeping them pest-free, for about 2 1/2 months. As nothing lives forever, he's served his time and died proudly on my front porch...right on my doorstep.

Sorry for your loss Sure your plants will feel even worse, so get out and find a replacement.

 

[fire-n-ice]

Aww, thanks ovrkll...he was my little buddy, ferociously decimating any and all pests on my decorative plants. I'm afraid there are no 'replacements'. However, with a little luck I can coax a Praying Mantis to be my new tenant. We'll see. There's always next year

No, 'fraid not Zee...they always die before it's cold enough to snuggle. Having a few different hobbies keeps me occupied enough to stay away from other less productive, mindless things like say oh uh...integrating splashes of wooden accutraments on my Z :fingertap:
