Thank you Irina and Hema! It was so dainty and fascinating to watch as it moved. I should have got video. Hema, I've intentionally not brought my camera outside with me while while I work on the property because I wouldn't get anything done :) So many critters but so little time. I hope they're still around when we get settled in!
