Tiny white wildflowers gracing the forest floor measuring no more than a quarter inch in diameter become a great big world to this tiny mantis that I did not even notice in the photograph until I downloaded the photos. just another reminder that the abundance of life one our wonderful planet is small and sometimes even smaller than we see.
nature has no boss 
Like the story and the reminder, Mike, and the photo is very cool.

Thanks Jet, I do need to remind myself every now and again to slow down and look for those little things. Too much to see if I take the time.

and they must be small bees in this case. I have seen a few smaller ones but right now the predominant one around the fields are the trick-colored guys harvesting nectar from small yellow bells out in the fields.

Thanks Miriam and a mantra I must repeat to myself over and over for it to take hold and regular practice sure seems to help.
