The surprise in the dill. [View all]

In my pollinator garden I have dill that I let go to flower for the caterpillars.

Oh, my. What's that?

Look at that face! Those eyes!

The wind was blowing, and I was swaying back and forth with the dill plant to get a photo.

The tiny little jumping spider is about the size of a ladybug.

It's there for the insects to eat. My herb garden is better protected. Solly Mack Jul 2024 #2
