The New Hotness

This being the season of monsters, I rebuilt and deployed a few from last year:

Real spiders have better camouflage, but cardboard works pretty well:

I must move them to the driveway on Friday:

This one stands out in any situation:

Tiny T-Rexes are just cute:

They need support, because their heavy head bends the spine just above the hips, so they’re snuggled up against pillar lamps or each other:

The cardboard Mantis turned out entirely too fragile:

Reassembling the poor thing with a blob of hot-melt glue on each joint held it together.

If I used something other than corrugated cardboard, they’d likely survive longer out there.

A handful of RGBW tea lights provide just enough illumination to make them visible.
