Beautiful Creepy Crawlies and Morning Glories

by 19 Comments

I had tomatoes planted along side my garage and they were doing pretty well until the tomato horn worms moved in and then a huge pink morning glory vine decided to take advantage of my tomato cage and climbed all over it. And this morning I had a visitor hanging out on my side door. You can click the images for full size.

    We only have white wild morning glories here, not the pink. Wow, what a beautiful nuisance 🙂

    The stick insect reminds me of when I built a campfire in the Cameroons. Lit it and half the twigs ran away 😀 Ralph xox 😀
