    Here are three more bugs from the garden. They are good hunters, robber flies. The last one looks like it is on his hands and knees.

    Well, you are helping me stick to my diet. All I have to do is look at these bugs, and I lose my appetite. Keep up the good work!

    How big are they? It's hard to tell in the pictures but they seem to be small comparing them to the leaves they are on.
