Good stuff. Nice looking prego mantis. Those are so cool .. always fun to see anywhere.
Went to school at SIU and spent a lot of time all over those swamps and hills! Hasn’t changed much! Thanks
We have giant cottonmouths down in south Louisiana where I grew up. Grew up on the swampy bayous.
I bet the air smelled wonderful after all that rain.
Cool video! I am actually shown in this video at about the 3:20 mark. I have a red shirt on and I am looking off to the side of the road. I spend a lot of time at LaRue and I am sure we have talked in the past.
That's cool and you're right we've probably talked or walked past each other dozens of times without knowing! It's always a great walk. I'm bad with faces and people but feel free to say hi if you see me out there ✌️
