If there had been more light she/he would have been a brilliant orange, but this pic kinda fades the color some. It is neat how the birds don't even think about making a snack of these. Rock

Don't know what this guy is, but he was kind of neat.




On another note, just have to share.  No pictures and not even directly in the garden.
My wife was feeding the rabbits yesterday evening and I heard a bit of commotion.  I went to check what was going on and I noticed the can of spider spray sitting in front of the rabbit house.  My wife comes back out and she's in a tizzy, "I found one of the big daddy's!  It was over my head!"  She grabs the can and goes back in and proceeds to fumigate.  I'm standing outside and I see it dart across the floor.  It was "healthy".  Not a tarantula or anything, but a good sized.  I bet it was a good 2-3" across (foot to foot), body a good sized chunky 1/2" plus, dark brown and black, I think they're called wolf spiders, my wife calls them dead.  I don't like like spiders too much either, especially being in an enclosed space with them, so I can't fuss at her too much. 
Anyway, she grabs the spray and goes back in, "Pssssssssssssssst", "Uhhh, honey I think you got it", "Pssssssssst", "honey?", "I usually spray them until they are white".  "Well, the spray doesn't drop them immediately, takes a little time to work, you got him".  "stomp on it, squash it, I'll get you a stick".   
Anyway, I got him.  Don't know why we needed to spray if we're going to squash him anyway.  Although, it made it easier to squash, it was a bit "dazed and confused" to say the least.  So, then I'm kind of scraping it outside where I could get some better light to get a "better" look at it, a "squashed look", but better light.
"Well, don't flick it out here a ME!"...... You know honey, you really should say stuff like that, I hadn't thought of that until right then

P.S.  The couch was actually kind of comfy last night
