Death visits the garden


The mantis that ate the minty aphids was found bitten in two... her once bright emerald eyes a dull black. We buried her under the monkey grass and then I desperately searched for her two sisters - neither of which I found. Totally depressed and further alarmed by the spreading yellow patch in the grass, I thought I could sense the sweet rotting smell of death creeping over the garden walls. Could winter be coming so soon?
