LOL at Al!!! and Lynn also. At least it's on a green leaf and not brown doodoo! Now will it grow into those feet....puppies have huge feet and grown into them...hmmm this may be some big fly! When he's full grown sent a pix to Al!

Somehow he looks quite sinister, even before you know the name! Lovely detail in both shots.
