Is she not an amazing creature! Hollywood special effects artists couldn't come up with anything any better, in my humble opinion. Being a photographic model was not something she was real interested in doing, so I shot pictures as I could with the camera at hand. She has left an egg case on one of my garden trellises, so I will be looking for her children in the spring among my delphiniums and iris.

Rather elegant creature. Awesome photo. Good luck recognizing the children as they will be in a different form.
I'm always surprised by the big belly. She's like an insect goat.
