BACKYARD VISITORS

While watering our tomato plant this afternoon, I looked down and saw this creature crawling around by my feet. I do not know what this creature is called. I do know it has what appears to be a sharp horn on its rear end.


I grabbed my camera.




Then Ashley noticed a bee hovering in a flower.


She grabbed her camera.

I've got the forum ladies hard at work to help you identify your critter. :)

My guy is green. Your guy is yellow. Other than that, they look identical. Maybe they're brothers who happen to be different colors. That happens sometimes in nature, you know.

I think the yellow could just be a matter of lighting. And I've heard about brothers who end up being different colors. Read about it in a magazine or something. :)
