Monomad: A Conspiracy

Here are some macro photos taken with my phone camera. That morning, I noticed that the bougainvillea in my garden had some uninvited guests. They were not pollinators but rather little pests of our plants. One was a locust nymph, and the other was a northern grass pyrgomorph. Instead of chasing these pesky little guys away, I let them stay. They were perched at a nice angle, tempting me to take pictures. I tried to distract my wife so she wouldn’t see them. If she caught us, she would label me as part of the pests destroying her beloved plants.
