it would be absolutely awesome to find one like that when waking up in the morning!

I've read a few anecdotes where people have found just that kind of thing.......'Rattlesnakes', J.Frank Dobie.

I can understand it from the snakes point of view though....Nice and warm
This picture was taken in "Burgers zoo" in Arnhem (The city from 'a bridge to far' )

Beautiful pictures of those twelve-spot dragonflies. We have those around here and my kids had to ID them for their 4H collections.

Adding to the insect theme. My daughter Gabby brought in a new addition. She rescued it from a bucket of water. This is June the June bug.
