I was tending my plants out on the the little concrete pad just outside my apt. door and came up with a huge surprise! This lovely insect has apparently decided that my big cactus is a perfect place to ambush the many crickets that abound here. I spent a good hour, trying to get a decent pic of her, but she was hanging upside down...

I do have some better images than this one- I'll upload them next.

But, she is PRETTY...
