Re: [SPAM] Re: Good or Bad Insect -

Hi Linda -
 
That's a baby praying mantis, which is why it's so tiny.  They're completely carnivorous, but maybe he poked a whole in the bud by mistake.  Isn't he cute?!?

I know it was certainly curious about my watch and me. Something so tiny just looks you in the eye as if to say, let me do my job.  I've been seeing a few tiny, tiny white spiders.  They are so tiny and their color has made it difficult to get a pix. But I think that's what made the hole.
  • And as you say-- the praying mantis was busy trying to help.

Found this while inspecting "High Five".  The top bud was really small, then discovered tiny hole just underneath.
Thought it was a spider damage, then this got on my arm. Not sure if it was after the spider, or if it is what did the damage?? Anyone know or have this problem of a tiny hole causing the bud to be very small.  It bloomed anyway.
