I think they all know that they will be photographed by you Christine. Wherever you go with your camera, those creatures immediately strike a pose... This little thing is just too funny! Irene

Looks like a hand and arm.

it could be a 'pretzel mimic'...certainly fascinating body language...

It's crazy! I have seen them in a documentary, they move around in a funny way.

Helen Betts		17-Sep-2014 07:21
Looks like it's doing a handstand! It must be awfully tiny if that's a blade of grass. An excellent, detailed closeup, Christine. V.
