Praying Mantis

The Praying Mantis' were active today. First time I've seen them in what appears to be breeding mode - two males and one female. Notice the "Deer in the Headlights" look…almost comical. Interesting to see the differences in the male and female, with the male having dark brown colors as opposed to the green female…I'm assuming.


I'm glad to have them around since they seriously reduce the bug population as opposed to the Walking Sticks that eat foliage.
