As I walked away from the buddleia in my neighbour's garden, I suddenly noticed this creature on the fencing. Blimey I throat, this hot weather is making the bigger and rarer insects coming into are gardens.
I did know whether to net it, swot it or run away from it. The closer I got I realised that it wasn't moving much and also seemed quite calm. Great I can walk past without it landing on me.
So was it a bird or was it a fly, there was one thing for certain, someone had screwed the poor beast to the wood. What a thing to do when it wasn't hurting anyone.
Poking it with a stick I thought the poor thing is dead, in fact rigor mortis had set in. Perhaps I should start up a collection called "Save the Old Plastic Bugs". Yes of course it's a garden ornament, but it puts a smile on your face.
