Things you find in people's hair.

My darling wife stepped out into the dark to bring me a nice cup of coffee a few nights ago. Half way down the path, she asks me if there is something in her hair. I look and straight away, exclaimed, "OH isn't he BEAUTIFUL!! Don't move!" Now she is worried! "WHAT!? WHAT IS IT!?"

I grabbed my potted lime tree and set him gently on a leaf for a few mug shots. The one I got the other night had green eyes. This one has red. Not sure of the name of this species, there are so many to choose from.

Yep, know that one Baz

What I don't get with many people is how does epileptically dancing around throwing a fit and flicking your legs everywhere get something out of their hair?



Oh, and nice Red-eyed Praying Mantis Nymph Baz

What an amazing looking critter Baz. Very colourful and very comical facial expressions.


Oh and I've had 2 kids so I know just the sort of things you can find in hair

And then they get grossed out when they find out they've squished the poor thing and they now have bug goop in their hair instead. LOL

Wonderful images Baz. He looks a cheeky little bug.

Hi,

Very attractive. I think it is so spooky the way they appear to have a pupil on the eye, giving you an evil grin, and thinking "is that edible?".

Cheers
