A tiny wasp with bow legs

  

Look what I found in our cat's water bowl! A tiny parasitic wasp, likely a chalcidid wasp species in the genus of Dirhinus(It could be Dirhinus texana.) Very interesting body parts! Take a look at my video while you're here, too.

Chi...chi...chi...chicken!


Yes, this morning James spotted a chicken in our front flower box! Was he surprised! Then when I stuck my head out the front door to see, I spotted EGGS! Lots of them! Another surprise – score! Thank you, Ms. Runaway Henny Penny! She's one of our neighbor's chickens that loves to roam. Two days ago, we spotted her skeddadling on another neighbor's fence side of our back yard.
