Black widow spider - Nature at work

Our friendly hummingbird stopping by to hang out for a while

This is our friendly hummingbird who loves to hang around us while we work in the yard and garden. I hope to have this hummingbird feeding from my hand very soon.

Unknown insect in my Arizona garden bed

Anyone have an idea on what this bug is called? Is this a beneficial insect? It is a mostly green-ish insect and as the saying goes, "if it greens it's good", however I know there are exceptions to the rule so I thought I'd post a image or two and find out if anyone might know something about this insect.

Hummingbrid landing on lisbon lemon tree

Here is one of our hummingbird friends the other day in our garden. This hummingbird loves to hang out in our lisbon lemon tree all day long!

Here you can see this hummingbird make a gentle landing atop this lisbon lemon tree. The cape honey suckle plants are some of these hummingbords other favorites.
