I have nice friends visiting occasionally

Some of them are of the Mini kind

And some of them are not so mini

I adore my mini friends

And I like my friends

In that order

Hehe, kidding

Chatting with Mark on my phone and this guy landed

Mark beamed over and transformed, enjoying sitting on my lap for quite some time

In 13 days you don't need to beam yourself ....

Then you will use a plane, wow 😊

insects

Named from the similarity of their prominent proboscis that looks like the beak of a snipe. Adults can often be seen sitting on vegetation or on tree trunks waiting to catch and pounce on passing prey. Some species of snipe flies are hematophagous as adults and some are predatory of insects. Larvae develop as predators in the soil and wood detritus. Found in wet meadows, marshes and woodland margins. Can sometimes be know as the Down-Looker Fly as they have the habit of perching head-downward on tree trunks.
