Welcome visitors to the garden

I had free insect control through most of the summer… you might have to zoom in on those first couple.

Then this little one bounced off the window and landed in a juniper. She was pretty dazed but I set her on the bench and she flew away after about 5 minutes.

Also this guy hangs out occasionally but fortunately has showed no interest in small trees

Another tree frog!
We've been at our current residence for 16 years and I never seen one until this year.
Hi there!

Looks like he is sticking around our back deck.
At day time he hides in the stack of empty flower pots and at night he comes out in a back ninja outfit. They do change colors!

I do love me some tree frogs!

This one was a stow away.
I was feeling in the pot of my streptocarpella to see if it needs watering and kept sensing something cold and rubbery... Figured it was a rotten leaf, went for a closer look and found this. He/she's got evicted...
