Stealth mode

This is not the same Mantis I blipped on Tuesday as while it would be the same species, (I think most likely a tree running mantid) it was at least twice as big as the wee one I blipped.

this one was in stealth mode although I did see it swipe at a bee that was hovering too close to the salvia flower.

A day spent attacking the hedge with the green waste bin completely full and a wheelbarrow full to go into my neighbours bin if there is any room.  Not much else achieved today and no visits to the foaming sea.
