They do, don’t they. Everything about them is so stylized. It’s like insect art!

This brought back memories…One year, a praying mantis took up temporary residence on the outside wall of my portable classroom (hut) for several days. There may be no formal prayer in school, but this insect had us covered.

You know we’ve got to take those prayers where ever we can get them.

It looks pretty big to me. I remember capturing one when I was growing up. We fed it (her?) a cricket and you could actually hear the crunch of eating. I see them a few times a year around here, big and small and I always leave them alone now, except to take the occasional photo.
