Extremely windy here today, it'd blow a dog off its chain as they say, with gusts of over 100klm an hour in some parts of the state. My sister said the wind took about 4 metres off the top of her Grevillea Robusta(Silky Oak) and my Weeping Sheoak is now just firewood too.
Not wanting to gross you out again, Lindapalm, just wanted to ask Hazel if this would be a baby Praying Mantis in this first photo? Or a different insect?
