Praying Mantis

We were doing some clean-up of rotten wood behind our house and found a hitchhiker on one of the pieces. Maybe he thought my green John Deere backhoe was a very large relative, but he stayed on the front-end loader bucket for some time.



While the praying mantis may look like a creature from a Sci-fi movie, some people keep them as pets.

The ET face! Some also have a sharp bite! The brown ones bite hard! I have babies in my wild sunflowers now!
