This creature lives outside my terrace window, for 5 days now. I was calling it Vasya (male nickname), but apparently it’s a she, based on size and time of the year. So maybe Vasilisa is more appropriate.
Anyway, I’ve been feeding her mosquitos and random flies from my apartment, she seems happy so far.
