Mr. Mantis came by to say Hi…

Hey All

The other day, just after I woke up, Mr Mantis came by. I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen a Praying Mantis, up close, in my life but it’s not too many. I’m also not sure if this is really a Mr Mantis or Ms. Mantis either ;-). I’m afraid these images aren’t my best but… These Mantis’ are strangely intriguing.

From what I’ve learned; of the three Mantis’ that reside in the United States only one is native, the Carolina Mantis. The other two were introduced from Europe and China, in the last century.

Click on the images  to take a closer look.
