This cute frog is waiting to see what happens. Not anything in particular, but a curiosity about the immediate future in general.
Sprinkled a little last night. Air is sort of sticky today even though it isn't very warm. Going to open a window and see what that does.

This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.
The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.
The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.

🐸 Sisyphus is pushing that leaf
towards the weekend for all of us.
Remember with gladness
all those who helped push
things along for you this week.
Enjoy your weekend, eh. 👋😁
