Went out to water the garden last evening and saw this fella perched on the tallest branch/leaf on one of my Okra plants.
Ran back inside to get the camera and much to my surprise, it was still on the leaf!
Took this one in haste, moved cautiously to the right side to get another shot and poof....he was gone in a flash!
Surprisingly, I have a Purple Martin House behind me about 15 ft. from the garden and the birds just watched me.
They love Dragon Flies!

neat shot , sqbear. I thought when you said "they" will come , if you plant okra,
you were talking about the deer. my husband always has to put up an electric fence
around his garden to keep the deer out.

That's funny merrytexan!

We, in Kansas, but not myself put up fences as well to protect the gardens.
For some reason, a critter is eating the low tomatoes only when beginning to ripen.

Have a great day today and thanks for looking a commenting too.

I have bucket tomatoes and some raised beds. Ground hogs eat most of my low hanging tomatoes and when the plants were young they ate the plants to the trunk A mother and 3 young can clean house . I do have a garden at our church and we have a few rats that eat low hanging fruit and raccoons eat low growing corn, and opossums got in my melon patch how I found this out
was a lady gardener set a live trap and caught the possum. We have about 22 garden plots so we can take a few missing items.
