My fig picking assistant today...




I've been going to pick figs every other day, and last time I saw this guy, but had no camera.  I didn't think he'd still be there two days later, but sure enough, his home is this one branch.  Not a fan of the big eye of my camera, he scurried around a lot while I tried to get a picture.  Then he landed on the ripest fig of the bunch as if to say, here, try this one. 

I'll visit him again on Saturday.

Remarkable photo. Love his eyes and antennae. Looks like an alien. Praying Mantises eat other insects, so I am not sure what this carnivore is doing with the figs.
