Getting Closer...
It stares at me from across the yard but does not know I'm here. No movement whatsoever. Even with a breeze passing through the yard. No movement. It gets closer.
"What interesting little growths on that stem. Sort of like a thorn... but colorful."
Looking straight at me. Still, no movement. Patiently I sit. It gets closer.
"Oh, they look like colorful little aphids. It's a striped leaf hopper"
It gets closer. It extends its dark appendage and I see myself reflected in its eye. Inquisitive creature. I remain still. Does it know I am here? It gets closer. Oh, so close. I hear a deafening "ka-ching" and it recedes. Safe for now. That was close.
