it's so cool that u can have a gardon of urself. in china, because of the expensive house price, you'll thank god if u can buy a normal house(about 600-900Sq.Feet)

It just looks big b/c I was up close with a macro lens. :-) It's really only about 1/2" long. Judy, I can imagine! These guys were swarming all over my garden. I'm glad they don't do any damage.

In Utah these guys are only about 1/2" long, but you're afraid to open your mouth when you're outside when they are out.
