Creatures and Critters

Here are some pictures of a few of the creatures and critters around our farm.

A green frog  (we are actually keeping her in a terrarium in our house)

A monarch – Did you know you can tell if it’s a monarch or a viceroy by checking if it has a black band across its bottom wings?  If it doesn’t have the band, it’s a monarch, if it does, it’s a viceroy.  This is a monarch – no black band.

A praying mantis – it is actually eating a bumblebee – see its head in one claw and its body in the other? (Gross!)

And here is Jinx, our cat, with spiderwebs on his whiskers.  He doesn’t look too pleased to have his picture taken.☺
