    Default Nasty Critter!

    How would you like to see this critter on one of your orchids ?! Well, he's not on a orchid but my Echeveria agavoides. Who knows his/her name? No prize just for fun... this one is ezzzzy

    I think he is pretty. I like hearing them in the trees at night in my backyard. Very relaxing sound.

    Cheers,
