September 14, 2006: Love in the Dew
... a narrative by xoxoxoBruce.
![]() It was a dark and stormy night. No...wait...it was a dim and foggy morning. Mr Spider was sleeping in. ![]() A little damp but living large....yes, plump and juicy. ![]() It looks like the neighbor, Ms Mantis, is doing her morning yoga. ![]() Ms mantis says, "Excuse me, I'm going to Mr Spider's for breakfast." ![]() Mr Spider, waiting for breakfast to fly in, gets a smooch from Ms Mantis. ![]() Ms Mantis kisses and nibbles Mr Spider's fingers....the tease. ![]() Mr Spider seems to have lost control and spooged all over. ![]() "Oh dear, Ms Mantis", he says, "let me get you a towel." ![]() Mr Spider, being very embarrassed, has just gone to pieces. ![]() But Ms Mantis, having been around the block, is very forgiving. To prove she's not offended, she'll tidy up before she leaves. A whole love story played out before the dew dries. |

It is kinda hard to tell what is going on with the legs all over the place... but very interesting. I think I like the story that goes along with it the most.

It almost sounds like a children's story.
(What with all the anthromorphic thing going on...) |

I think Mr. Spider was trying to make Ms. Mantis a silk peignoir.

UT, you just reawakened my crippling fear of spiders.
You can just rock me to sleep tonight!

hahaha info re: praying mantis:
I decided to look up the praying mantis to see if spiders were part of their prey.

I like "spiders and even spiders". The odd spiders are safe for now...

I dunno foot. That flower looks bigger than a quarter. Plus I found this on Wikipedia:
The Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is the smallest bird in the world, weighing 1.8 grams. A more typical hummingbird, such as the Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus), weighs approximately 3 g and has a length of 10-12 cm (3.5-4 inches). In any case, I still wouldn't stand next to the thing.
